  • Lewis Marasco was on his return trip to the Scottish city from Rome Fuimicino
  • He spotted the slapdash worker and filmed him before posting the video online
  • Handler is thought to work for award-winning handling service, Swissport
  • He threw each bag several feet onto belt in plain sight of more careful colleagues

A baggage handler was spotted carelessly throwing passengers' luggage onto a conveyor belt at Edinburgh Airport. 

Lewis Marasco was on his return trip to the Scottish city from Rome Fuimicino when he spied the slapdash worker.

The handler, thought to be employed by the award-winning international handling service, Swissport, could be seen throwing bags from several feet away from the belt as his colleagues walked up to the belt before carefully placing each bag down.

Mr Marasco posted a video of the scene to Twitter with the caption: 'Great to see one of the baggage handlers at @EdiAirport taking no care with bags - no wonder things get broken @Swissport.

'Having had things broken myself I now see why - credit to the three other guys taking care.'

The careless bag gage handler in the video is believed to work for Swissport International, a firm hired by the airport to carry out the task.

Swissport has been contacted for comment. On their website it says: 'Swissport is the world's largest provider of ground and cargo handling services in the aviation industry.
