Two baggage handlers who were filmed carelessly tossing passengers' luggage onto a conveyor belt have been sacked.
Footage taken at Melbourne Airport showed the Swissport Australia workers, who'd been contracted by Qantas, laughing as they slammed down suitcases and threw them around lazily.
Swissport has since confirmed the two staff members have been fired.
'An urgent investigation was undertaken into the recent behaviour of two team members at Melbourne Airport who were handling customer luggage in an unacceptable manner,' a spokesperson said.
'As a result of that investigation, these individuals are no longer employed by Swissport.'
