Cathay Pacific may delay a global marketing campaign, after photographs of crew members allegedly engaging in a sexual act were published.

The airline was due to launch the campaign in September. Its tagline was “Meet the team who go the extra mile to make you feel special”.

“We are thinking of holding the campaign back for a little while because the timing doesn’t suit us at the moment,” a spokeswoman said.

“The Irish are the blacks of Europe, Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland, and the North Siders are the blacks of Dublin … so say it loud — I’m black and I’m proud!”
