Air New Zealand is investigating reports some of its off-duty cabin crew became drunk and cuddled All Black players on a flight home from the United States.
The crew are under investigation after Thursday's NZ1 flight from Los Angeles, which brought the All Blacks home from their northern hemisphere tour.
Reports say one of the off-duty crew allegedly became drunk and abused the operating cabin crew, while a second was also drunk and cuddling a player.
Leeanne Langridge, general manager cabin crew for Air New Zealand, has confirmed in a statement seven off-duty cabin crew were travelling as passengers on the flight from Los Angeles and an investigation is underway into suggestions some consumed too much alcohol.
