Hotel full of Hos Grounds BA Flight
Sky News: World News, Global News and International breaking News.:
Six British Airways staff have complained they were too tired to work after being kept awake by prostitutes and pimps at their hotel.
The cabin crew are facing disciplinary action over the cancellation of a flight from New York to the UK.
The stewards and stewardesses said they were too tired to fly because they were put up in a hotel being used by prostitutes.
They complained they felt unsafe and unable to sleep.
Some said their doors would not lock and that pimps were trying to get into their rooms, forcing them to erect makeshift barricades.
The crew said that BA was initially sympathetic but later reopened inquiries into the incident.
The British Airways Stewards and Stewardesses Association, which represents the cabin crew, said the six were now facing disciplinary action for alleged misconduct.
A BA spokeswoman said: "We held an initial safety inquiry and found that fatigue did not appear to be an issue.
"Nine other crew stayed at the same hotel and all reported fit and well for work the next day. An investigation is continuing to find out all the facts."
