> Is baggage handling specific to an airline? It looks like it's a service provided by the airport.

Generally you are right yes, it is airport service under one of the operating company of the airport.

However easyJet and other low cost airline have generally a very vertically integrated system where they try to operate almost everything themselves to reduce cost.

Some airport have entire dedicated terminal for them, I would not surprise if they manage also their luggage system in these airports.
