Travellers wait weeks for airlines to deliver bags at Auckland Airport

Video / NZ HeraldTravellers have reported a backlog of lost and undelivered luggage by airlines at Auckland airport, with one man driving from Tauranga to Auckland to hunt down his elderly mother’s bag. Menzies Aviation is one of the main baggage-handling companies airlines contract out at Auckland Airport. “It’s an issue Auckland Airport continues to be concerned about,” said a spokesperson, who said mishandled bags were arriving to the airport daily. “Our team at Auckland Airport is working incredibly hard to reunite passengers with their bags as quickly as possible,” said a spokesperson. Auckland Airport said overseas disruptions typically trickled down to New Zealand and impacted operations here.
