About 30 million bags were temporarily lost by airlines in 2005, and 200,000 of those bags never were reunited with their owners, according to an industry report released Monday.
The report by SITA Inc., a company that provides technology solutions for the air-transport industry, also noted that "the problem of mishandled baggage is worsening on both sides of the Atlantic."
