Heave sigh of relief for your lost valuables at the airport
29 January 2021
"The joy is not just about recovering the lost property; I could have perhaps forgotten and moved on with my loss but, it's the sheer joy, pleasure and astounding experience that I have had with you," wrote Nymphea Banerjee in a heartfelt note when she got back her gold bangles from Hyderabad Airport's Lost & Found Section.
Her note continued to describe the unparalleled service she received from the Lost and Found team at Delhi Airport. “Your unmatched professional standards, high standards of ethics, integrity and compassion have impressed me. I can certainly tell you that whenever I travel by air next time and visit an airport manned by GMR, I will not only feel safe but also have an ear to ear smile because of the great experience I had with you and GMR team earlier. Keep up the great work GMR. Wish you lots of success in future,” read an excerpt from Banerjee's mail.
Incidents like this have often happened with many travellers. At some point in time, we all have experienced the anxiety of losing or misplacing our belongings. On the day of their journey, some flyers are either in a rush to catch their flight, or some stay extra attentive while following the security procedures at the airport. While travellers are preoccupied with personal or professional reasons at the airport, they often tend to forget collecting back their valuables.
At times many of these belongings are either expensive or may contain a lot of important personal information that one can simply not afford to lose. The hassle of losing such possessions also tends to ruin the journey.
