Airline says lost luggage may not be its 'vault'

A Swedish pole vaulter claims Scandinavian Airlines lost her set of 15ft-long poles during a short flight from her home to Germany.

Hanna-Mia Persson, 23, says the flexible sticks disappeared when she travelled from Goteborg to Stuttgart with a stopover in Copenhagen.

But the airline believes another pole vaulter may have picked them up by accident.

She says the poles, which were bound together and weigh at least 40 kilos, never appeared on the luggage carousel in Stuttgart.

Ms Persson said. "They can't just magically disappear. It's very strange that they're not able to find luggage of that size."
