Malaysia Airlines sacks sex case steward
Print Edition
MALAYSIA Airlines has sacked a steward for allegedly sexually assaulting a passenger who was scared of flying with the disaster-prone airline before any hearing into the incident had taken place, a union body said yesterday.
The crew member has been stuck in a detention centre at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport since August, after the passenger told French authorities that the steward has sexually assaulted her on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to the French capital.
The case is the latest setback for the struggling national carrier, which was struck by twin tragedies this year when one of its passenger jets went missing and another was shot down over conflict-torn east Ukraine.
Ismail Nasaruddin, president of the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia, said the 57-year-old steward was sacked by a letter on August 22, just two weeks after the purported incident took place.
“What Malaysia Airlines (MAS) did is a clear violation of natural justice,” Ismail said.
“There has not been any hearing so far for the crew who is being held in Paris.”
