\n

Last week, I wrote about a lawsuit filed in the United States against Qatar Airways<\/a>, where a passenger accused a flight attendant of stealing cash from her while inflight. I was skeptical of some aspects of the claims. However, here\u2019s another story of a similar situation, as reported by PYOK<\/a>, where the airline reportedly confirmed that the inflight theft happened.<\/p>\n

Passenger has phone stolen on Qatar Airways flight<\/h2>\n

A Reddit user shares<\/a> a recent incident that happened on March 28, 2025, on a Qatar Airways business class flight from Doha to Singapore. Just before landing, the passenger reportedly went to the lavatory, and accidentally left his phone behind. He realized it almost immediately, and upon returning to his seat, he went back to retrieve it, but the lavatory was occupied.<\/p>\n

A male crew member exited the lavatory a moment later, and the phone was gone. The passenger reported this immediately upon landing, and the airline said it would investigate. According to the passenger, he was soon contacted by a security investigations manager, who confirmed the incident, and identified the crew member as responsible, stating that the crew member was dismissed from his role.<\/p>\n

The passenger was able to track his phone to a location in Singapore (which matched the crew\u2019s hotel), and later, to the Philippines. The passenger was eventually offered 949 SGD, the cost of a replacement phone, and was asked to sign a release and discharge form.<\/p>\n

The passenger is still frustrated with Qatar Airways<\/h2>\n

Despite Qatar Airways seemingly investigating the incident and terminating the employee for the theft, as well as reimbursing the passenger for the cost of the phone, he\u2019s still frustrated. He\u2019s angry that he was ignored for weeks by customer care, despite being told he\u2019d be contacted imminently. He\u2019s also not happy that one of the responses mischaracterized the incident as \u201cunattended personal belongings,\u201d even though it was acknowledged as theft.<\/p>\n

Lastly, he\u2019s not happy that he was offered no compensation for the disruption to his work, as he had meetings canceled, had to go to the police, had to lock accounts, etc. The passenger concludes:<\/p>\n

\n

I had switched to Qatar after years of loyalty to Singapore Airlines. The theft was bad enough, but the way they\u2019ve responded, and how long it\u2019s dragged on, has been exhausting. I\u2019ve done everything I can internally, and I\u2019m still willing to resolve this directly. But at this point, I\u2019m wondering if I need to go public in a bigger way (media, legal, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"
The passenger is still very unhappy with the airline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My take on this Qatar Airways theft incident<\/h2>\n

First of all, I\u2019m shocked that some Qatar Airways flight attendants would engage in such stupid theft. I mean, a phone is easy enough to track to a certain location, and you know that in a country like Qatar, you\u2019re going to be immediately fired and deported if this is discovered. I imagine the flight attendant must have been ready to leave anyway, or else he wouldn\u2019t have put his job on the line in such a risky way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, I think Qatar Airways deserves some credit for properly investigating the incident, dismissing the employee, and reimbursing the guy for the phone. I just have to imagine that many other airlines would\u2019ve never properly investigated this, and nothing would\u2019ve come of this.<\/p>\n

Now, do I get his frustration that this was drawn out, and that he hasn\u2019t been offered extra compensation? Sure. But I\u2019m also not sure there\u2019s more to this story that warrants going \u201cpublic in a bigger way,\u201d when he has been reimbursed for his loss, at least directly. He\u2019s considering legal action? I suppose in the United States that would seem totally normal, but in other countries, I\u2019m more skeptical\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"
At least Qatar Airways investigated the incident!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bottom line<\/h2>\n

A Qatar Airways flight attendant has reportedly been fired after an investigating revealed that he stole a passenger\u2019s phone. If a flight attendant is going to steal something from a passenger, a phone seems like one of the riskier things to take, given how it can be tracked.<\/p>\n

I think the airline deserves credit for properly investigating this and taking action. And the airline did reimburse the passenger for the cost of the phone. He\u2019s still really angry about the lack of compensation beyond that. Look, I get it, I think some sort of gesture of goodwill would be appropriate. But I also think the airline has done a lot more than other carriers would\u2019ve.<\/p>\n
