The best and worst airlines for delivering bags to the carousel

-

Gatwick Airport has rated the best and worst airlines when it comes to delivering luggage on time - and the results might surprise you

There’s nothing worse than landing in Britain after a week in the sun – cold, miserable, and with nothing but a week in the office to look forward to – and being forced to wait an aeon for your luggage to arrive.

But one UK airport is now naming and shaming those airlines and handling agents that are most regularly tardy with their customers’ bags.

Gatwick’s monthly reports list the airlines that most frequently use the airport – and how often they deliver every bag on a flight within 35 minutes of landing when using a “small” aircraft, and within 50 minutes of landing a “large” plane.

The most recent report – for October 2014 – lists Flybe (whose handling agent is Menzies) as the top airline for “small aircraft”, with 100 per cent of bags on 84 flights returned to the terminal within the allotted time.

Other strong performing carriers included Aurigny – with 99 per cent from 176 flights, and Aer Lingus – with 98 per cent from 283 flights, both of whom also use Menzies. Ryanair, a client of Swissport, scored highly too, with 98 per cent of bags on 231 flights delivered within 35 minutes.
At the other end of the scale were Royal Air Maroc, TAP Air Portugal, Air Southwest and Thomas Cook, with scores of 56, 57, 62 and 64 per cent, respectively. Each uses the same handling agent – Aviator. Thomson Airways – which uses Swissport – also struggled, with 66 per cent from 199 flights.

For airlines operating “large” aircraft, Icelandair and Garuda Indonesia (both Swissport) scored highest, with both achieving a score of 100 per cent of bags, from 28 and 22 flights, respectively. Monarch (Swissport; 96 per cent from 360 flights), Emirates (Aviator; 96 per cent from 93 flights) and Vietnam Airlines (Swissport; 95 per cent from 20 flights) also fared well.
Airlines deemed to have met Gatwick’s standards are those that score 95 per cent of above. By that measurement, the following airlines

 PASSED in October 2014:
Aer Lingus - 98.2 per cent
Ryanair - 98.3 per cent

Why Malaysia?

Why Malaysia? The presence of a large number of Chinese passengers on board the doomed flight is being used to strain relations between Communist China and Malaysia, and it may contribute to a future deterioration of their relationship, resulting in increased justification of Chinese presence in the region, and maybe even future Chinese aggression. This may also help explain why a Malaysian plane was targeted, as opposed to an Indonesian plane (Indonesia is already in the hands of the Globalists, and therefore never gets any brinkmanship from Communist China, which is a creation of the Globalists).   Malaysia is probably the only country in the world whose recent leadership has openly criticized the IMF, Israel, the War on Terror and made claims that 9/11 was an Inside Job. Malaysia has a bustling economy, but the Globalists prefer plantation style economies, such as neighbouring Indonesia, which is completely under Globalist control. Since Malaysia cannot b...

March 27, 2014 - Why would   Israel   have a   plane   identical to the missing   Malaysia Airlines   plane in storage in Tel Aviv? The plane in this photo is   Boeing 777   2H6(ER) - 28416/155, an identical twin of the missing plane, which has been in   Israel   since November 2013. What are the Israelis doing with this plane in a hanger in Tel Aviv?   Could it be part of a false-flag terror plot in the making?  Where is this plane today? According to reports from plane-spotters,   Israel   has an identical   Malaysia Airlines   Boeing 777-200 in storage in   Tel Aviv   since November 2013. The only visible difference between the missing plane and the one in   Tel Aviv   would be its serial number. What do the Israelis have planned with the twin   Malaysia Airlines   plane? By using the twin aircraft they have in storage, the terror masterminds may have a...

SriLankan Airlines Flight Attendants & Ground Staff Used As Mules to Smuggle Gold

Gold smuggling racketeers have once again commenced using Flight Attendants of   SriLankan Airlines   as mules to smuggle gold into the country. A 27 year old former Mihin Lanka Flight Steward Meewala Arachchige Chanuka, who recently joined SriLankan Airlines after the airlines merged, confessed to Custom Officers when he was apprehended a few days ago, that he was promised a sum of Rs 40, 000 for carrying the 6.5 kilo grams of gold valued at Rs 35 million. This reported apprehension is now been taken very seriously by Customs Officers as in the past certain Flight Attendants of the national carrier were used as mules to assist gold smugglers in various ways to traffic gold into the country. The smuggling syndicates had previously roped in many staff by offering then hefty sums as rewards, especially those that had access to the aircraft. Several staff including Flight Attendants, Catering staff, Cleaning staff and the ramp Bus Drivers were all part of a mafia sty...
