A BRITISH Airways cabin boss was a serial sex attacker who preyed on sleeping air stewardesses, a court has heard.
Amardip “Amo” Dhariwal, 54, allegedly assaulted three women colleagues in separate incidents after boozing with them, it was said.

The in-flight lead is on trial for a single attack on one — but a jury has heard from two others who say he raped them on foreign trips.
Dhariwal, of Southall, West London, denies the allegations.
The sexual assault took place in Bracknell, Berks, in May 2022, it was said.
Dhariwal invited his alleged victim to his home for a catch-up over dinner at which they downed beer, wine and whisky.
The woman, then engaged and now married, said she dozed off as they watched a film and woke to find Dhariwal touching her intimately.
She pretended to be asleep before fleeing when he went to bed, she said.
The woman described the meeting as a “date” in a post and had referred to Dhariwal as her “work husband”.
He told cops: “Anything that happened was consensual.”
The jury heard Dhariwal allegedly raped a second colleague at his Singapore hotel room in March, 2020.
She woke naked in his bed, she said, confused at how she got there and what had happened.
When she confronted him on Facebook, Dhariwal, was said to have replied: “You didn’t say no in bed, hun.”
Singapore cops investigated but took no further action and would not help British police, it was said.
The other stewardess said she was assaulted while asleep and drunk in a hotel room Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2018.
The trial resumes tomorrow at Reading crown court.
