A disgruntled holidaymaker claims he had to abandon his holiday and travel back to the UK to pick up his missing luggage after it was believed to contain a gas cylinder.
Kevin Openshaw and David Ayre had been looking forward to a two-week diving holiday in Malta since they booked to travel with EasyJet on February 4. The diving enthusiasts were to spend the first week diving on the wrecks accessible from Malta's shore, before heading on a boat with a diving group to explore some of the deeper WW2 wrecks.
But when they arrived in Malta to begin their diving experience on Sunday, May 8, they discovered that one of the bags containing a vital piece of diving equipment - Kevin's rebreather - was missing. And after reporting it missing to security staff at Malta Airport the pair discovered that it had been stopped at Manchester Airport as the bag was believed to contain a diving cylinder "and nothing else".
