Some of the items left behind include sweaters, books, personal gadgets, as well as unusual items like X-ray films, dentures and breast pumps.
Ground handler Sats revealed that it recovered over 38,000 items on planes last year – up from 32,000 in 2015 and more than double the number recovered in 2014.
This works out to more than 100 items a day, reported Straits Times.
Some of the items left behind include sweaters, books, personal gadgets, as well as unusual items like X-ray films, dentures and breast pumps.
Sats, which manages about eight in 10 flights at Singapore’s Changi Airport, makes an attempt to track owners down if they do not turn up.
If unsuccessful, the items are sometimes returned to the airline’s head office after a week, while unclaimed items are typically kept for about three months before being donated to charities.
