CGT Asia confirms Philippine passenger boarded Subang-Laos flight without carry-on baggage

CGT Asia Limited confirmed one Philippine national boarded their aircraft without carry-on luggage from Subang to Luang Prabang on October 1.

The passenger intended to collect approximately 23 pieces of luggage containing vape products for a flight to Manila.

The luggage was refused due to safety concerns over the large quantity and potential dangerous goods, and was not loaded onto the aircraft.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 — CGT Asia Limited has confirmed that only one Philippine national was on board its aircraft when it departed Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (WMSA), Subang, for Luang Prabang International Airport, Laos, on October 1, and that the passenger boarded without any carry-on luggage.

CGT Asia chief executive officer Captain Darren Chan Chee Seng said the Learjet 55B, registered as N73GP, departed Subang at about 11.30am local time and arrived at Luang Prabang International Airport (VLLB) at about 1.30pm.

He said the passenger was the sole passenger on the WMSA-VLLB sector.

“At the time of departure from WMSA, the passenger boarded the aircraft without presenting any carry-on baggage,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Chan said the operating crew had been informed that the passenger intended to collect luggage containing vape products for the onward flight and that the passenger would personally handle the customs clearance process.

“However, the crew had not been informed that the luggage would consist of approximately 23 pieces, and this quantity was substantially greater than anticipated,” he said.

Upon arrival at VLLB, approximately 23 pieces of luggage were presented for the intended onward flight to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Manila, Philippines, before the aircraft was scheduled to ferry back to Subang.

Chan said the operating crew was not involved in the customs clearance process but raised operational and safety concerns after becoming aware of the proposed baggage.

These included the unusually large quantity of baggage, the aircraft’s baggage capacity, weight-and-balance considerations applicable to the Learjet 55B, and the possible presence of lithium batteries or other items potentially subject to dangerous goods requirements.

“The luggage was not accepted for carriage and was not loaded onto aircraft N73GP at Luang Prabang International Airport. — Bernama

CGT Asia Limited 证实，10 月 1 日，一名菲律宾公民从梳邦飞往琅勃拉邦时，未携带随身行李登机。

该乘客打算携带约 23 件装有电子烟产品的行李飞往马尼拉。

由于行李数量庞大且可能含有危险品，出于安全考虑，行李被拒绝托运，并未装上飞机。

吉隆坡，10 月 8 日——CGT Asia Limited 证实，10 月 1 日，其飞机从梳邦苏丹阿卜杜勒·阿齐兹·沙阿机场 (WMSA) 飞往老挝琅勃拉邦国际机场时，机上只有一名菲律宾籍乘客，且该乘客登机时没有携带任何随身行李。

CGT Asia 首席执行官 Darren Chan Chee Seng 机长表示，注册号为 N73GP 的 Learjet 55B 飞机于当地时间上午 11 点 30 分左右从梳邦起飞，并于下午 1 点 30 分左右抵达琅勃拉邦国际机场 (VLLB)。

他说，这名乘客是 WMSA-VLLB 航段上唯一的乘客。

“该乘客从西米德兰兹机场 (WMSA) 出发时，登机时没有携带任何随身行李，”他昨天在一份声明中说。

陈先生表示，机组人员已被告知，该乘客打算领取装有电子烟产品的行李搭乘后续航班，并且该乘客将亲自办理清关手续。

“然而，机组人员事先并不知道行李大约有 23 件，这个数量远远超出了预期，”他说。

抵达 VLLB 后，大约有 23 件行李被提交，准备搭乘飞往菲律宾马尼拉尼诺·阿基诺国际机场的航班，之后飞机将按计划转机返回苏邦。

陈先生表示，机组人员并未参与海关清关流程，但在得知拟议的行李后，提出了操作和安全方面的担忧。

其中包括异常大量的行李、飞机的行李容量、适用于里尔喷气机 55B 的重量和平衡考虑因素，以及可能存在的锂电池或其他可能需要遵守危险品规定的物品。

“这批行李未被接收，也未被装载到琅勃拉邦国际机场的N73GP飞机上。”——马新社
