Death on board delays another BA flight

A British Airways flight to Cayman was delayed in the Bahamas after a passenger on board died.

The London-Nassau-Cayman flight was held at the Lynden Pindling International Airport on Saturday, 11 Oct. for more than three hours after a woman became ill.

A medical team worked on the passenger for almost an hour after the plane landed, but the woman was pronounced dead.

Sarah Dobbyn-Thomson, a barrister and managing director of a Cayman legal firm, said the aircraft arrived in Cayman close to four hours late.

She said, “In all the years of travelling between London and Cayman, the death of a passenger en route and the BA plane being declared a crime scene in Nassau is a new experience for me.”
