Qantas has sacked Lisa Robertson, the hostess at the centre of the Ralph Fiennes mile-high sex scandal, after she admitted the onboard tryst.
In a media statement released this afternoon, the airline said: `"Qantas airways announced today that flight attendant Ms Lisa Robertson's employment contract to operate on Qantas aircraft had been terminated.''
The announcement followed revelations of an onboard tryst between Ms Robertson and actor Ralph Fiennes that has dominated word media over the past week.
Ms Robertson was initially suspended after allegations emerged that she had sex with the British actor in an aircraft toilet during a flight from Australia to India on January 24.
Ms Robertson initially denied having sex with Fiennes, claiming that he followed her into the toilet and "became amorous".
However, in an interview published over the weekend, Ms Robertson admitted to the encounter, and to later spending the night with the actor in his hotel room in India.
"At first I denied it because I was desperate to keep my job and I didn't want to hurt Ralph," Robertson told Britain's The Mail on Sunday newspaper.
Fiennes' media manager Sara Keene told News Ltd papers that he was seduced by Ms Robertson.
