A London-bound British Airways flight originating from Barbados was called off as crew members reportedly became intoxicated at a hotel shortly before departure. The flight, designated as BA254, was scheduled to depart from Bridgetown at 4.25 pm local time on Sunday and land at London Heathrow at 6.15 am on Monday, impacting around 336 passengers. According to the Press Association, several BA crew members have been suspended pending an investigation.
As per The Sun’s report, the crew members participated in a drinking session involving vodka and beer at a hotel before the flight, with a female crew member reportedly vomiting and a male colleague collapsing. The incident occurred at an undisclosed ocean-front hotel known for hosting honeymooners.
Allegedly, other guests recorded the crew members, with one individual claiming, “We’re British Airways crew, what of it?” A spokesperson for British Airways stated, “We expect the highest standards of our crew, and we are urgently looking into this issue.”
