The airline said the staff had been ''terminated'' this week after ignoring at least one warning about breaching the company's code of conduct regarding inappropriate internet use.
This followed an investigation into 40 staff last month.
''We absolutely do not tolerate any misconduct,'' said public affairs manager Danielle Keighery. ''They were not face to face staff responsible for dealing with customers.''
Sources close to the airline said those involved were mainly baggage handlers who repeatedly used work computers in offices and staff rooms to watch pornography and then swap material deemed ''good''.
The source said managers were present at the time and were also involved in viewing and swapping the material.
''The movies were hardcore triple X,'' the source said.
