This airport has never lost a bag. For one chief handler, it's all about respect

Kansai International Airport opened in September 1994, on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, and its records state it has maintained a perfect baggage streak since.

That's a lot better than the U.S. can claim, with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics finding domestic flights lose 3 million bags every year.

The loss in baggage is mostly thru theft in my opinion.

It seems airline are a lot more careless about things than they used to be but then theft could also be a factor at a much higher level than the past as well. With a loss of work ethic and respect by far too many people in today's society this is one of the results.
