Corendon Airlines
Each company has the proper policy regarding Damaged and Delayed Baggage. These both companies
will do their best to solve these kinds of cases inside their Airlines. Damaged and Delayed baggage is
inevitable, that’s why these companies made procedures on how to resolve these cases. Between Air
Calin and Corendon Airlines we decided that the Corendon Airlines has a better way of handling these
cases. Corendon Airlines has a better way of handling these kinds of cases. The company has a list of
information about how to avoid the risk of damage and a list of other situations that the company are not
responsible. Corendon Airlines has a contact in Ground Operation that will help you to track your lost
baggage. When your baggage is considered lost report it to “Lost and Found & Baggage Service” desk.
To track your lost baggage, you must first log in then send the document requested after sending
verification details and complain about the lost baggage. There is file that you need to fill up for
verification of your baggage. When your baggage has been damaged report it immediately for
compensation. Same procedure in lost baggage. Send the requested document such as P.I.R, Flight Ticket,
Passenger Boarding Pass, baggage tag of the damaged baggage and Pictures showing the damage. The
Company have also an important information that “The Baggage Irregularity Report (P.I.R) is a
mandatory document, and in cases where it cannot be submitted, there is no right to claim the
compensation.” The notifications regarding the damaged and loss properties shall be immediately made
upon arrival at your destination airport. Notifications made later on (in case of damage) shall be submitted
in writing within seven (7) days as of the baggage delivery date, and in case of delayed delivery of the
baggage, it shall be submitted in writing within twenty-one (21) days as of the baggage delivery date.
Corendon Airlines policies are easy to understand and easy to do. You have nothing else to go or to do,
you just need fill up the form on their website and give what needs to be given and they will take action
on your problem.
To avoid that cases of Damaged and Delayed Baggage
First, you must check all your valuable things inside your bags. Secure all of your things inside your bags
to prevent damages. You need to remove all the old airline tags and security tags. An old airline tag will
send your baggage to the wrong place or destination. Before leaving to the airport, make sure no old
airline tags or stickers on your bag. Make sure you bag is unique than the other bags. Use some name tags
on your bag to easily retrieval of your bag in case it gets lost. Double lock your bags or purchase a bag
with lock. In that way no one can open your bags and if someone mistakenly grab your bag instead their
own bag, they will easily realize that it is not their bag because they cannot open it. Lastly take a picture
of you bag inside and outside also the things inside you bag. In that way you can prove to the company or
to the person who saw your bag that, that bag is yours and you can prove to them because you took a
picture of all the necessary things in your bag and also the bag.
