Former Baggage Handler Faces Court Over Sydney Airport Jet Engine Stunt

Preslie Ginoski appears in court today on charges of breaching aviation security after filming a viral video in a restricted airport zone.

Preslie Ginoski, 23, is charged with threatening aviation security and failing to display security identification in a restricted area at Sydney Airport.
The charges stem from a viral video where Ginoski posed shirtless and performed push-ups inside a stationary jet engine in June 2024.
Authorities discovered six related videos on Ginoski's devices during an investigation by the Australian Federal Police in February 2025.
The maximum penalties for the charges include fines of $15,500 and $1,650, highlighting the seriousness of the alleged security breach.
Sydney Airport and Australian Federal Police officials emphasize a zero-tolerance policy for breaches of security, regardless of intent or perceived harmlessness.
