Recently, a Russian passenger was travelling on business class in a Dubai-bound Emarites flight when he decided to film the luxuries on the upper deck of an A380. What he did not realise was that the first few seconds of the video captured a cabin crew member emptying the ends of a glass into a bottle.
Shocked by the footage the passenger, Yevgeny Kayumov, posted it on his Instagram account and tagged the airline company asking, “Is that normal practice Emirates?”
His post went viral and sparked a debate online and Emirates has ordered an investigation. The airline company also said that the flight attendant’s act wasn’t in line with the airlines rules, Express.co.uk reported.
“Emirates always strives to provide the top quality service. Actions recorded on this video do not comply with our quality standards. We are currently investigating the incident,” a spokesperson was quoted.
However, many came out in support of the flight attended and argued she was not at fault. On a Reddit thread about the video, which has over 3,000 comments a person said: “I’m a flight attendant – the attendant is probably pouring the unused champagne back in the bottle before take-off to then dispose of once the plane takes off.”
