Captain Colin Glover, 51, of Dublin, Ireland, has been suspended despite denying the allegations.
Glover said that the person in the photos is not him. One photo shows the pilot naked from the waist down. His legs were resting on the airplane’s controls and he appeared to be pleasuring himself.
The pilot was also wearing women’s stockings. Another photo shows the pilot looking at photos of naked women while performing sex acts on himself.
The photos of the naked women obstructed the view of the dashboard. Two different serial numbers are visible in the photos, suggesting that the images were taken on two separate flights.
A spokesperson for British Airways said that the allegations against Glover are extremely serious and therefore, he was suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.
Glover has been a captain for the past 26 years.
