British Airways is investigating an incident in which all three pilots on a Hyderabad to London flight fell ill after an overnight stopover in Hyderabad. Multiple reports say the illness is suspected to be food poisoning linked to crew meals or accommodation during the layover. One pilot is reported to become incapacitated at around 30,000 feet, with oxygen administered, while the other pilots managed to continue the flight. The aircraft ultimately lands safely in London, according to the accounts. British Airways has begun an internal review and is also working with relevant authorities to determine the cause of the pilots’ sickness. The airline is examining hotel arrangements in Hyderabad, including what the crew ate during the stay, as part of the investigation. One report also describes a prolonged medical procedure for the affected pilot after the flight landed, but the underlying cause remains under review. All sources characterize the event as an in-flight crew medical emergency during BA’s Hyderabad–London route, followed by a coordinated response and an ongoing probe into possible exposure during the stopover.
