A recent theft case at Pune Airport raises questions about who is accountable for luggage security
Nahar quickly reported the theft to the Pune Airport Police, and they’re now looking into it. But this incident has sparked a bigger conversation about who’s really responsible for luggage security during air travel.
Air travel is a bit of a maze, right? Your luggage goes through so many hands, from check-in to the final destination. So, if something goes missing, it’s tough to figure out who to blame—the airline, airport security, or the airport itself?
An aviation expert, Dhairyashil Vandekar, pointed out that keeping luggage safe is a shared job between the airport and the airlines. They have cameras to track luggage, but figuring out what happened can take time and thorough investigations.
On the other hand, Santosh Dhoke from the airport administration made it clear that they don’t take responsibility for thefts. He insists that it’s the airline’s job to keep luggage safe. But for passengers like Nahar, this just raises more questions about how to get help when things go wrong.
Sadly, this isn’t the first time theft has happened at Pune Airport. There have been similar cases before, even on flights to places like Dubai and Delhi. Despite having security forces and cameras, these thefts keep happening.
Experts suggest that travelers should avoid putting cash or valuables in checked luggage. It’s also a good idea to check your bags right after you get them to spot any issues. Just a little precaution can go a long way!
