A week after their stopover at Munich Airport, the owners of 3000 suitcases are still waiting for their luggage. Lufthansa said on Friday: “It’s true that around 3,000 pieces of luggage have been stored in Munich since last weekend.”
A thunderstorm and air traffic control restrictions meant that transfer passengers were sometimes unable to catch their connecting flight. However, half of these 3000 suitcases were actually intended for other German airports. They are temporarily sorted in Munich to relieve other German airports that can no longer keep up with their work due to a lack of staff.
