Takeoff Delayed Over 2 Hours Due to Emergency Maintenance... Load Limit Imposed
Passengers Not Informed Until Landing... Luggage Scheduled for Home Delivery

An Asiana Airlines passenger plane departing from London Heathrow Airport to Incheon International Airport operated without carrying the checked luggage of 260 passengers.


The flight was scheduled to depart at around 8:30 PM local time on the 5th, but takeoff was delayed for nearly two and a half hours due to an emergency maintenance caused by a hydraulic system issue affecting the power transmission device. Ultimately, Asiana Airlines decided to limit the load for safe operation and took measures to unload all checked baggage from passengers.

The problem was that passengers were not informed during this process. Passengers arriving at Incheon Airport around 8 PM on the 6th complained, saying, "Asiana Airlines only informed us about leaving the luggage behind around the time of landing."



Asiana Airlines stated, "We plan to deliver the luggage to each passenger's home on Monday" and apologized for the inconvenience caused.
