Bristol Airport passenger slams baggage delay 'mayhem' as investigation begins

Bristol Airport is set to hold talks with airline handling agents after baggage delays faced by arrival passengers. One holidaymaker who landed earlier this week said she faced a delay of almost two hours waiting for suitcases and her disabled mum was left in "extreme discomfort".

Imogen Martin, who flew back to Bristol from Izmir in Turkey on Tuesday evening (June 21), said: "Literally there were hundreds of people there, over 500 bags backed up apparently. Some people left and have been told they may have to wait up to two weeks to get their bags.

"We were waiting from 4.30pm and didn’t get out until 6.45pm. Other flights had been waiting since 3pm and 3.30pm and didn’t get out until around the same time, as all bags were delayed and then released at once.
