Baggage vehicle crashes into Qantas jet on tarmac, airline defends outsourcing as union points finger

A baggage vehicle crashed into a Qantas jet when the brakes failed, a union says, claiming the driver was trapped and pointing the finger of blame at outsourcing.

A Qantas plane was left with a hole in it after a baggage vehicle’s brakes failed, sending it crashing into the jet, with the Transport Workers Union claiming the driver was trapped.

The union says the incident occurred in Perth after the plane arrived from Melbourne on Thursday and the damage was extensive.



They say the worker operating the vehicle narrowly escaped injury but was stuck under the plane until it could be moved. Other workers also narrowly escaped injury, the union claims.

A Qantas spokeswoman confirmed a Boeing 737 aircraft sustained damage from a baggage belt loader while on the ground at Perth Airport.


Let the finger-pointing and "I told You So !!" begin

A 6 hour 35 minute flight at an average speed of around 280 - 290 knots, exceeding 300 knots only a couple of times.

Thats one way to rack up some extended flight time at company direction.
