A British Airways flight was plunged into chaos after a cabin crew member was discovered naked and under the influence of crystal meth in an aircraft toilet, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The shocking incident, which occurred during a scheduled service, led to the immediate suspension of the flight attendant and has triggered a major internal investigation by the airline. The crew member was allegedly found in a severely intoxicated state, having locked themselves in the lavatory for a prolonged period.
Aviation Safety Breach
The event represents a catastrophic breach of aviation security and safety protocols. Cabin crew are entrusted with the lives of hundreds of passengers, and being under the influence of a powerful Class A drug like methamphetamine during a flight is an unforgivable violation of that duty.
Passengers on board were reportedly unaware of the specific details but could sense the disturbance among the working crew, as senior staff were forced to intervene and manage the situation discreetly.
Airline Response and Investigation
British Airways, known for its stringent safety standards, has responded with speed and severity. A spokesperson for the airline confirmed the attendant has been suspended pending a full and thorough investigation.
The airline stated: "We have a zero-tolerance policy towards drugs and alcohol and are taking this matter extremely seriously. The safety and security of our customers and crew is always our highest priority."
The incident raises serious questions about pre-flight checks and the well-being of airline staff, potentially prompting an industry-wide review of screening procedures for cabin crew.
