شهدت رحلة تابعة للخطوط الجوية البريطانية، واقعة غريبة، عُثِر فيها على مضيف طيران ضمن طاقم رحلة متجهة من الولايات المتحدة إلى مطار هيثرو في لندن، وعلى متنها 470 راكبًا، عارياً تماماً، ويرقص داخل حمام درجة رجال الأعمال تحت تأثير المواد المخدرة.
ووصفت صحيفة «ذي صن» البريطانية والواقعة بأنها «قضية أمنية»، اختفى أحد أفراد طاقم الضيافة الجوية أثناء توزيع الطعام والمشروبات في مقصورة درجة الأعمال، وبعد بحث الطاقم عنه، عثر قائد الطاقم على المضيف وهو عارٍ تماماً يرقص داخل دورة مياه درجة الأعمال على ارتفاع 30 ألف قدم.
وتم اتخاذ إجراءات فورية من قبل الطاقم، إذ تم إلباس المضيف ملابسه وتثبيته في مقعد حتى نهاية الرحلة لضمان عدم تكرار الحادثة أو التأثير على سلامة الركاب، ووصفت الخطوط الجوية البريطانية الحادثة بأنها «مقلقة»، مؤكدة أنها تعاملت معها على أنها قضية أمنية تتطلب تحقيقاً داخليّاً.
ونقلت الصحيفة عن أحد أفراد طاقم الطائرة حالة الاستياء العامة التي انتابت الطاقم قائلاً: «بدلاً من أن يسأل الركاب (دجاج أم لحم؟)، كان يخلع ملابسه ويرقص في دورة المياه، مرّ وقت طويل قبل أن يعثر عليه زملاؤه، وكان فاقداً للوعي تماماً»، مضيفاً: «ليس هذا خطيراً فحسب، بل هو طريقة جنونية لإنهاء مسيرتك المهنية في الخطوط الجوية البريطانية».
ولم تصدر الشركة تفاصيل إضافية حول دوافع المضيف أو حالته النفسية، في حين أثارت الواقعة استياء بعض الركاب الذين اعتبروها تصرفاً غير مهني يعكس تقصيراً في الانضباط الوظيفي.
وأصدرت الخطوط الجوية البريطانية بياناً مقتضباً أكدت فيه التزامها بسلامة الركاب وأفراد الطاقم، مشيرة إلى أن الحادثة قيد التحقيق وأنها ستتخذ الإجراءات اللازمة بناءً على النتائج، ولم يتم الكشف عمّا إذا كان المضيف سيواجه عقوبات تأديبية أو إنهاء خدمته.

A British Airways flight witnessed a bizarre incident where a flight attendant was found completely naked, dancing inside the business class bathroom under the influence of drugs, on a flight from the United States to Heathrow Airport in London, with 470 passengers on board.
The British newspaper "The Sun" described the incident as a "security issue," noting that one of the cabin crew members disappeared while serving food and drinks in the business class cabin. After searching for him, the crew leader found the attendant completely naked, dancing inside the business class restroom at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
Immediate action was taken by the crew, as they dressed the attendant and secured him in a seat until the end of the flight to ensure that the incident would not be repeated or affect the safety of the passengers. British Airways described the incident as "concerning," confirming that it was treated as a security issue requiring an internal investigation.
The newspaper quoted one of the flight crew members expressing the general dissatisfaction among the crew, saying: "Instead of asking passengers (chicken or beef?), he was taking off his clothes and dancing in the restroom. It took a long time before his colleagues found him, and he was completely unconscious," adding: "This is not only dangerous, but it's a crazy way to end your career at British Airways."
The company did not provide additional details regarding the attendant's motives or mental state, while the incident raised the discontent of some passengers who considered it an unprofessional act reflecting a lack of workplace discipline.
British Airways issued a brief statement reaffirming its commitment to the safety of passengers and crew members, noting that the incident is under investigation and that necessary actions will be taken based on the findings. It was not disclosed whether the attendant would face disciplinary action or termination of service.
