Bosses cancelled the jumbo back to Heathrow as the pair were too traumatised to work.
Police are investigating Thursday’s hold-up and believe the Brits were targeted by a gang.
A source said: “It is feared they were followed back to their hotel.
“They had been on a night out during a stopover.
“It was scary and they were grateful to escape with their lives.
“The pair had to report to police and were understandably too upset to work.
“Passengers were told the flight was cancelled and the duo later flew home as passengers.”
BA told The Sun: “This is a police matter. We are supporting colleagues.”
