In light of the incident, British Airways released a statement to The Sun expressing their deep condolences: “Our thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of our colleague at this difficult time.” A source close to the situation told the publication, “The flight back from San Francisco was impossible to proceed. The staff were profoundly affected by the sudden loss of their colleague.” They added, “The steward was a beloved member of our team and his death was completely unexpected.”
As a result of the incident, the scheduled British Airways flight BA 284 from San Francisco International Airport to London Heathrow was canceled. This cancellation also affected the subsequent outbound flight BA 285 from London to San Francisco the following day.
The aircraft involved was an Airbus A380-800, which has a capacity of up to 469 passengers.
