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

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 - CGT Asia Limited has confirmed that only one Philippine national traveled on their aircraft when it departed Subang Airport for Luang Prabang International Airport on October 1. The passenger did not present any carry-on baggage when boarding the Learjet 55B, registered as N73GP, which departed Subang at around 11.30am local time and arrived at Luang Prabang International Airport at approximately 1.30pm.

The operating crew was informed that the passenger intended to collect baggage containing vape products for the onward flight and would handle the customs clearance process personally. However, the crew was not expecting the unusually large quantity of 23 pieces of luggage, which posed concerns about the aircraft's baggage capacity and safety. The luggage was not accepted for carriage and was not loaded onto the aircraft.
