Several British Airways pilots fall ill with suspected food poisoning after a stopover in India, according to multiple reports. All or most of the flight deck crew who eat while on the stopover become ill and continue on the long-haul journey toward Heathrow. During the roughly 10-and-a-half-hour flight, at least one pilot is reported as “incapacitated,” and is given oxygen while at around 30,000 feet. Another outlet reports that one of the pilots is taken to hospital and undergoes a prolonged medical procedure, described as a 12-hour operation, after the onset of symptoms in flight. The reports characterize the incident as food poisoning and indicate that crew members experienced significant illness while travelling, requiring in-flight medical assistance and, for some, hospital treatment after landing. No sources quoted provide medical test results or official confirmation of the cause beyond the food poisoning account, nor do they specify exactly what food was consumed.
