A newspaper claimed some British Airways staff broke strict BA rules by leaving the security approved compound which houses their crew hotel.
Much of
the South African city is off limits due to the notoriety of crime-ridden
Johannesburg.
According
to report, British Airways captain was stabbed after going for a run between
flights in South Africa, according to media reports.
Report reveals
a thug held him at gunpoint before plunging a knife into his thigh.
The
airline’s veteran pilot was rushed to hospital for immediate treatment he had
gone jogging with a crew member during downtime while on a stopover in
Johannesburg, The Sun said.
The BA
facility houses a hotel in the Melrose Arch neighbourhood, as well as a number
of luxury amenities such as a bowling alley.
The
injured captain was allowed to leave hospital after treatment and jetted home
earlier this week.
Separate
crews were found to bring home the plane from South Africa and passengers were
not informed.
The
Foreign Office’s advice to Brits travelling to South Africa states: “There is a
high crime rate, including carjacking, house robbery, rape, sexual assault and
murder.
“Violent
crime can take place anywhere, including in tourist destinations and transport
hubs.”
