Some passengers of British Airways have threatened legal action against the airline and the Ghana Airport Company Limited over delays in handing over their bags for hours over the weekend.
\nThe passengers went up in arms against the airline and the Ghana Airport Company on Saturday evening after access to their bags were delayed for over four hours before being handed over to them.
\nAll passengers of the airline including those with business class were affected by the delay.
\nAccording to some passengers who spoke to Citi Business News officials of the Ghana Airport Company Limited were tight lipped on the matter while that of British airways were not available to answer questions on the delay.
\nBut Citi Business News has learnt the delays follows a new country policy which directs that all bags coming in from the United Kingdom and some European countries are screened thoroughly before they are released to passengers.
\nFurther checks also revealed that screening machines had broken down at the time the airline landed leading to officials screening the bags manually.
\nThe delays led to heavy human traffic at the arrival hall and baggage control unit of the airport which were both too small to accommodate the numbers.
