An airline based in southwest China has promised to stop bullying by members of its staff after new cabin crew were forced to lie in aircraft overhead luggage lockers.

Kunming Airlines issued a statement saying it would stamp out the behaviour.

Pictures of cabin crew forced into lockers went viral after they were posted online over the weekend.

The photographs were published on a WeChat social media account called Civil Aviation Tabloid.

The post alleged that almost all cabin crew were forced into lockers by security staff after completing 30 to 50 hours service at the airline.

Kunming Airlines said the bullying was carried out without its knowledge and it had never received any complaints from cabin crew.

It said the bullying was carried out after cabin crew had completed their duties and the safety of flights was never affected.

"The company attaches high importance to the incident and will prevent such things from happening again," the statement said.
