Many people were shocked by what they described as a lack of staff compassion, who still refused the woman’s access, even after she managed to fit her suitcase. The incident caught the attention of the Parliament of Bulgaria. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Grozdan Karadjov ordered an investigation and called the staff’s actions “outrageous”. He instructed officials to review the CCTV footage of the airport, saying that the main operation of the land handling would have the ‘highest fine’, along with an oral warning. In response, the airport maintained that its staff acted ‘professionally and without any physical contact with the passenger’. “All rules regarding the baggage of passengers, the permissible size and the fees payable for luggage are determined exclusively, entirely and unilaterally by the airlines,” the land handling company said.

Earlier this month, Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary confirmed that the airline bonuses paid to agents who see and charge passengers for large bags. “We are largely flying full flights, about half of the passengers can bring two bags and the other half can only bring one – because that’s all that fits the plane,” O’Leary said, adding that the company follows an ‘aggressive’ policy on excess luggage. Agents are reportedly receiving a € 1.50 bonus (£ 1.28) per large bag that flags their flag.
