Passengers often face bad behavior at the airport. After the video of passengers’ bags being thrown away at Melbourne airport was released, there was a huge outcry on social media. As the protest grew stronger, the responsible employees were fired.
In this shocking video, staff can be seen carelessly tossing and tipping luggage. Some bags can also be seen falling off the belt when pulled. A person throws bags on the belt with great force. He lifted the box with his head and threw it away. Then someone else laughs.
These are Swasport employees who have been subcontracted for the ground handling service at the airport. After the video went viral, the contract holders investigated and fired the duo. The airport authorities also communicated that the other employees have been re-trained on how to handle baggage.
