The European Commission has launched an investigation into the growing problem of lost air passenger luggage. The problem is a huge and growing headache for air travellers, with an estimated 1.2 million bags irretrievably lost in 2007, around one bag for every 2,000 passengers.
The EU executive's transport directorate will seek information on the problem from the AUC, the Airports International Council, and the Association of European Airlines and other parties.
