Passengers often face misbehavior at the airport. After the release of the video of passengers’ luggage being thrown away at the Melbourne airport, there was a huge protest on social media. As the protest got stronger, the responsible employees were dismissed.
In this shocking video, the staff can be seen carelessly throwing and overturning the luggage. Some bags can also be seen falling off the belt when being pulled. A person throws luggage onto the belt with great force. He lifted the box with his head and threw it away. Then someone else laughs.
These are employees of Swasport who have been subcontracted to handle ground handling services at the airport. After the video went viral, the contract holders investigated and fired the duo. The airport authorities also informed that the other employees have been instructed again how to handle the luggage.
