A former baggage handler will front court after allegedly filming himself posing inside a plane turbine shirtless at Sydney Airport.

Preslie Ginoski, aged 23, was arrested by the Australian Federal Police in February after the video of the bodybuilder doing pushups and posing in the turbine surfaced on social media in January.

The AFP will allege Ginoski “used his position as a baggage handler” to “exploit” a restricted area by “removing his clothes,” before recording himself and posing on the aircraft.

Officers allegedly found six videos on the man’s phone of him on or near the turbine.

He was issued with a court attendance notice and will front Downing Centre Local Court with two charges, including one count of threatening aviation security and failing to display security clearance in an airside security zone.

Sydney Airport’s Head of Security Graham White said the airport has a “zero-tolerance” policy when it comes to safety.

“We treat all reports of potential safety breaches seriously,” White said.

“The safety of passengers, airport staff and airport operations is our top priority, and we have stringent protocols in place to uphold all safety policies.”

“We commend the swift response by the AFP and will continue to work closely with them to ensure the highest standards of safety are maintained for passengers, staff and visitors.”

AFP Sydney Airport Police Commander Davina Copelin said the airport was “not a playground for social media.”

“Airside security zones are highly regulated and secure areas, and the AFP will not tolerate breaches which may compromise the safe operations of the airport, no matter how harmless they may seem.”

Ginoski faces maximum fines of $15,500 and $1650 respectively.
