Officials are investigating why Jetstar Airways did not notice a container of luggage that was left on a plane after it landed on the Gold Coast, and then flew south to Sydney.
Citing the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the News Corp Australia Network reported the container of luggage from the previous flight was discovered by ground handlers in Sydney, who noted it was not on the cargo manifest. The report stated Jetstar claimed to be aware of the container shortly after the aircraft left Gold Coast Airport, when baggage handlers alerted the pilot.
According to the report, the ATSB will interview ground and flight crews over the incident on October 29.
