Ryanair Holdings Plc has instructed the Portuguese cabin crew accused of posting a fake photo of themselves sleeping on an airport floor to attend a disciplinary meeting in Dublin this week.
The Irish discount airline released CCTV footage to Twitter on Oct. 17 which it claimed showed the crew staging the photo at Malaga airport in Spain. The staff have been told they are “required to attend an investigative meeting under the disciplinary procedure,” according to a letter seen by Bloomberg.
