9 Airlines That Reportedly Struggle With Lost Luggage

Republic Airways

Passengers of the Indianapolis-based regional airline Republic Airways have a higher chance of not enjoying their trip than most. For every 100,000 bags the airline handled, 930 ended up lost.

American Airlines

While Republic had the worst overall track record regionally, American Airlines lost the most luggage nationally, landing the airline in hot water with its passengers.

Envoy Air

Operating mostly as a regional subsidiary of American Airlines, Envoy followed suit with its national partner’s track record of lost luggage.

JetBlue

This large volume in one of the world’s busiest airports might account for the airline’s loss of 670 bags for every 100,000 handled

PSA Airlines

Another subsidiary of American, PSA Airlines also has a pretty poor track record of getting luggage to its final destination.

Alaska Airlines

America’s fifth largest airline, Alaska Airlines, does lots of business in the Northwest US as long as it can get those bags to their final destinations.

United Airlines

United Airlines also has a pretty poor track record of getting luggage to its final destination. The Chicago-based airline misplaced 620 bags for every 100,000 it handled.

Mesa Airlines

Phonex-based Mesa Airlines is not having a great year. The regional airline not only lost 600 bags for every 100,000 it handled in 2022

Delta Airlines

Atlanta is home to one of the world’s busiest airports, so it’s no surprise that lost luggage is part of the daily grind for Delta Airlines, which calls Atlanta its home base
