The airline had earlier suspended Lisa Robertson pending an investigation into reports she had sex with Fiennes during a flight from the northern city of Darwin to Mumbai, India, on January 24.

Qantas said in a statement Monday that Robertson's employment contract had been terminated. It didn't give a reason.

The statement came a day after Robertson's account of a fling with Fiennes on board the flight and later at a hotel in India was published in a British newspaper.

Fiennes has not commented on the incident, but spokeswoman Sara Keene was quoted as saying in News Ltd. newspapers that the actor was seduced by the airline stewardess.

"She initiated the encounter," Keene was quoted as saying. "She was the sexual aggressor."
