Six Ryanair cabin crew members pictured sleeping on the floor of a Spanish airport office last month have been sacked, the airline says. <\/p>\n

The image, which Ryanair said was staged, was widely shared online. A Portuguese union that represents airline crews criticised the airline.<\/p>\n

The staff were dismissed for gross misconduct, a Ryanair spokesman said.<\/p>\n

Over 20 crew members were stranded in Malaga airport when their Porto-bound flights were diverted on 14 October.<\/p>\n

However Ryanair said that despite the issues, “no crew slept on the floor”. <\/p>\n

“The crew spent a short period of time in the crew room before being moved to a VIP lounge, and returned to Porto the next day,” the company said after the image circulated. <\/p>\n

Confirming the sackings on Tuesday, Ryanair said the photo led to media reports that damaged the company’s reputation and “caused an irreparable breach of trust with these six persons”.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese union, SNPVAC, had earlier disagreed with Ryanair’s summary of events, claiming that crew members were placed in a room between 01:30 and 06:00 “without minimum rest facilities”.<\/p>\n

The union said that crew members were left “without access to food, drinks and even a place to sit down, as there were only eight seats available for the crew”.<\/p>\n

However SNPVAC confirmed that the staff were moved to a VIP lounge at 06:00.<\/p>\n

The airline came under fire after the photo appeared on social media.<\/p>\n

It was first shared by Jim Atkinson on Twitter, who criticised Ryanair for not providing adequate accommodation for staff.<\/p>\n
