The penalty if caught is around $110 AUD.

A British Airways flight attendant has reportedly been found dancing naked mid-flight.

The hostie, 41, was meant to be serving drinks and meals to passengers, instead, after a search, colleagues found him completely naked and jumping up and down in one of the plane’s business class toilets.

Clearly unable to continue his shift, the man was given a pair of pyjamas to change into before being seated in a first class seat and strapped in for the remainder of the 10 hour flight headed to London from San Francisco, The Sun reports.

There were around 470 passengers and crew on board the packed double-decker Airbus A380 at the time.

“We think the guy popped pills when he was meant to be working. It is an extraordinary thing to do,” one co-worker told The Sun.

“The plane was cruising at 37,000ft over the Atlantic, but this bloke seemed to be higher than anyone else.

“Rather than asking passengers ‘chicken or beef’, he was stripping off and dancing in the toilet. It was a long time before he was located and he was completely out of it.

“Not only is it really dangerous, it is a crazy way to end your BA career. This job can do ridiculous things to people, but staging a one-man disco in a Club World toilet is a new one on me.”

On landing, the man, who disembarked in a wheelchair, was given medical attention and arrested by police on suspicion of being unfit for duty.

The incident is being investigated and the flight attendant has been suspended.
