The British Airways (BA) has apologised to Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and his mother after one of its staff made insulting comments about Judy Murray.
Simon Taylor, a BA area manager in charge of 1,500 cabin crew worldwide, had compared Judy Murray's face and features to a 'recently salted slug', ' manatee's spleen' and 'arthritic ping pong ball', with his tirade hitting Facebook just as her son was winning Wimbledon, The Sun reports.
The remarks of Taylor, who is facing the sack, comes a month after the airline ran a contest for its passengers to win a day with the British No.1.
Insisting that Taylor was off-duty when he made his 'inappropriate postings', BA apologised for the comments and said that they are taking the matter seriously.
