According to the media report, the crew member—who was meant to be serving meals—vanished during the flight aboard an Airbus A380-800.

When colleagues searched the aircraft, the in-flight manager allegedly discovered him unclothed and dancing inside a Club World (business class) toilet.

Fellow staff members reportedly dressed him in a spare set of first-class pyjamas and secured him in a first-class seat for the remainder of the 10.5-hour journey.
