The ground handler, Swissport, which is contracted by Ryanair, said in a statement, "We are disappointed by the video footage circulating on social media. Employees are well trained in baggage handling and we will use this incident to remind all staff of our duty of care with passengers' belongings."

While Manchester airport's chief executive, Andrew Cowan, said, "It is completely unacceptable for our customers' belongings to be treated in this way by any company operating on our site. The actions of the individuals concerned are so serious that we would expect Swissport to ensure they do not work on the airport site in the future."
