Entire British Airways Crew Nearly Kicked Out Of Resort After Drunken Fight In The Maldives
British Airways has some wild crew, and they seem to cause more commotion when they travel the world than employees of other airlines. BA recalled a flight attendant after a drunken altercation in the Maldives where her entire crew was nearly kicked off of the remote property.
The stewardess, her daughter and a friend had been staying at the Oblu Xperience Ailafushi with the rest of the BA flight team, who had flown from Heathrow to capital Malé last week.
…A fight was then said to have broken out after hotel management warned the trio about their behaviour. “There was a lot of pushing and shoving, then fists were flying. Onlookers got involved as they tried to break it up. It was the last straw for the hotel. BA was informed and the stewardess was ordered home.”

The resumption of flights to the Maldives in fall 2022 has brought a number of incidents. First, one flight attendant passed out completely sauced at the beach. And then another ran naked around the hotel’s breakfast buffet.
BA antics are worldwide, however. In the fall a British Airways pilot snorted coke off of a topless woman, then tried to fly passengers to London. Then crew fabricated a mugging to cover up a wild night in Rio.
We’ve seen naked spin the bottle and bar fights in Singapore. And back in the day British Airways Mixed Fleet cabin crew reportedly would party pretty extensively at the Ole Sereni Hotel in Nairobi, but several international locations have been hot spots.
Several years ago flight attendants at BA were told they had to stop running naked through the halls of their layover hotels. But it’s usually just been antics in good fun, not hard drugs, fake police reports, or getting the entire crew kicked out of a remote resort.
