Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia Airlines has sacked a steward for allegedly sexually assaulting a passenger who was scared of flying with the disaster-prone airline before any hearing into the incident had taken place, a union body has said.

The crew member has been stuck in a detention centerer at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport since August, after the
passenger told French authorities that the steward has sexually assaulted her on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to the
French capital.
