RYANAIR bosses could face a wave of #MeToo-style claims after sacking chief pilot Aidan Murray.

The 58-year-old was fired at the end of a three-week probe into inappropriate messages sent to female colleagues as young as 21.

Further allegations against him and other pilots may follow.

A new group calling itself Justice For Ryanair Crew says it represents whistleblowers at the Dublin-based airline.

It says one pilot sent women intimate pictures, while another appeared on dating websites posing as a man 20 years younger.

It is even claimed a pilot received sexual favours from co-workers in the cockpit of a packed aircraft.

Disgraced Murray’s 28-year Ryanair career ended on Tuesday when he was found to have sent messages including “nice ass!” to young staff.

Ryanair, headed by Michael O’Leary, is Europe’s biggest airline and listed 5,860 pilots at the end of March last year.

Yesterday it made clear any allegations should be reported to cops — and management would assist with any investigation.

The airline also pledged to investigate any allegation it heard of.

A spokesman said: “Ryanair has a zero-tolerance policy in relation to any form of sexual misconduct in the workplace.

“We have now had sight of an anonymous email sent to The Sun containing unsubstantiated claims.

“We confirm we have separately written to the anonymous sender seeking detail which would allow us to investigate these claims.”
