British Airways pilots fall ill with food poisoning on Hyderabad‑London flight

All three pilots on British Airways flight BA276 from Hyderabad to London Heathrow became ill with suspected food poisoning during the 10‑hour flight. The crew had shared a breakfast in their hotel lounge in Hyderabad and drank bottled water from an external supplier before departure. One pilot was incapacitated at about 30,000 feet and required oxygen, while the other two continued to operate the Boeing 777‑200 aircraft. The plane landed safely at Heathrow and the two remaining pilots received medical care after landing. British Airways launched an internal investigation, reviewing the hotel's hygiene and catering arrangements, and the pilots filed Air Safety Reports and provided biological samples. The airline assured that passenger safety was never compromised and that the welfare of its crew is a top priority.
