Emirates Flight Attendant’s BTS Video Goes Viral; Airline Denies Firing Crew Over Policy Violations

Emirates Flight Attendant’s BTS Video Goes Viral: Emirates Airline has denied dismissing cabin crew members over a viral behind-the-scenes (BTS) video that allegedly showcased policy violations.

“Emirates is aware of the video mentioned and had investigated the matter at the time. We can confirm that no crew was dismissed as a result,” an Emirates spokesperson said in the statement.

The BTS video in question was uploaded in May 2024 by a former Emirates flight attendant. The video of a trip to Shanghai titled ‘Things you DON’T see as a Passenger,’ allegedly showcased several policy violations, including unauthorised food preparation and restricted area access, as reported by a section of the media which quoted “insiders” and “social media posts” that said Emirates had subsequently dismissed her former colleagues featured in the video.

The video at the centre of the controversy is titled “Behind The Scenes as EMIRATES CABIN CREW - Things you DON'T see as a Passenger.” At the time of writing, it had over 1.3 million views on YouTube, where it was posted eight months ago by former Emirates flight attendant Amanda King.

According to Aero Time, Amanda King is an Australian citizen who regularly posted about her life as a Dubai-based employee of Emirates. Her vlogs includes ‘get ready with me’ videos, footage of layovers, the perks she gets as an aviation professional and more.

Several reports, citing anonymous sources and social media posts, had claimed that Emirates terminated employees featured in the video. However, the airline has now clarified that no such action was taken.

It is not immediately clear if Emirates has taken any other measures against the circulation of the video which is still available on YouTube and has hit 1.3million views at the time of publication.

In May 2024, she uploaded a video which showed her getting ready for a flight from Dubai to Shanghai.
