The airline’s special flight dispatched to London on Saturday to airlift left over baggage however returned  without the affected baggage following the inability of Gatwick Airport authorities to screen them.
In a statement, the airline expressed regret over the development, saying the Gatwick Airport had on arrival of the aircraft said it had no capacity to screen the baggage as only a handful of its workforce was on duty because of holiday.
