Private jet operator denies drug-laden luggage was loaded in Subang

The private jet operator has moved to distance itself from allegations involving drug-laden luggage, asserting that the passenger in question left the aircraft at Subang without any hand-carry items.

According to the company's account, the passenger had no intention of carrying baggage on the private flight. Instead, the operator said the traveller was scheduled to collect his luggage only after landing in Laos, suggesting the baggage in question was not part of the aircraft's cargo manifest for the Subang departure.

The clarification comes amid reported concerns over narcotics-related incidents involving luggage at the airport. The operator's statement seeks to establish a clear timeline of events and the passenger's movements, emphasizing the distinction between baggage intended for transport on the aircraft and items that were to be retrieved at a subsequent destination.

The development adds another layer to the ongoing investigation, with authorities expected to examine the operator's claims and cross-reference them with airport records and passenger documentation.
