The 53-year-old, who had travelled the world with the airline, is no longer employed by them.
He was initially arrested by detectives following an investigation by Thames Valley Police.
The charges relate to an alleged incident in Bracknell, Berks, and two others in locations outside of the UK since 2018.
Dhariwal, from Southall, West London, known during his British Airlines career as “Amo”, has appeared in court.
He is now scheduled to go on trial next year at Reading crown court.
Last year, a BA stewardess claimed she was raped by a colleague during a Far East stopover.
She said she was attacked at her hotel after a night out with other crew.
A BA crisis team flew to the city.
It came days after another female attendant alleged she was sexually assaulted by a BA pilot in the same region.
And a month previous, a BA stewardess said she was raped in the Caribbean.
A source said: “The airline is reeling from these allegations.”
