An air hostess reportedly earned around £650,000 in just two years by having sex with aeroplane passengers in the toilet.

The woman's illicit activity went unnoticed until she was caught in a compromising position in the lavatory and subsequently sacked.

It is reported that she was working for an airline in the Middle East.

A source speaking to the Saudi Arabic language daily Sada said: "She admitted that she had sex with many other passengers during flight and that she preferred long distance flights between the Gulf and the United States."

Airline sources said the woman charged £1,500 (Dh7,400) for each mile high liaison, and found someone willing to pay her the sum on every flight.

The airline has not been named specifically, but Sada has reported that the flight attendant was immediately sacked and then deported.
