What REALLY happens to your luggage after check-in! Video footage captures Ryanair baggage handlers carelessly hurling passengers' bags on to tarmac When our luggage disappears on the conveyor belt at check-in we don't expect it to be given the full VIP treatment, though we would likely expect that it not be tossed brazenly about on the tarmac. The latter is precisely what happened on at least one Ryanair flight this week, as captured on amateur video, with one suitcase even bouncing on the ground. The flight was leaving Italy's Bergamo Airport, outside Milan, when baggage handlers were recorded at work by a passenger on another plane, with the video posted on YouTube by user Nerijus Laurinaitis. One handler is throwing suitcases under the front of the plane, from one side to the other, with little regard it seems for the well-being of the bag. The next handler then tosses the luggage into the cargo hold where it's packed it by another staff member. Ryanair never claims to be the most luxury carrier but it does proudly promote its high standards when it comes to punctuality and looking after your luggage with 'near-perfect baggage handling'. 'We are focussed on, and committed to, bringing you the lowest fares and most on-time flights out of all our competitors,' the budget carrier's official website states. 'Of course there are some things we never compromise on - most importantly your safety, but also our top drawer punctuality, our near-perfect baggage handling, and our efficient 'green' policy.' Ryanair released a statement about the incident, telling the Irish Mirror: 'The handling of these bags by our handling agents in Bergamo is clearly in breach of Ryanair bag handling guidelines and will not be tolerated. 'Ryanair has instructed the Bergamo Airport authority that we want these two individuals removed from handling Ryanair flights and we have received assurances that this cavalier treatment of our customers' bags will not be repeated.'
