Good morning,
Thank you for your response. Is it not possible to search for key words in incident reports from airports? Please search the key words "baggage handler", "ground staff", "ground handler", "baggage staff"
Yours sincerely,
Charlotte Lynch
Unfortunately not and as stated previously we would not record this type of information.

Good morning,
Okay, thank you for clarifying that. Please can you provide data for all call-outs to airports for the dates requested, in an excel spreadsheet format?
Any details you can provide about the most serious cases would be helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Charlotte Lynch
I have asked if data can be obtained but this is going to sound pedantic but we can't do a search for 'all airports'. Please can provide the addresses for each location they are interested in knowing about.
Please can you let us know what airports & their addresses you wish us to search for.
Kind regards
