MOSCOW - The investigation into the death of former Russian spy turned up new links to Manchester yesterday as British Airways Connect reported that traces of a substance thought to be salmonella had been found on the majority of its planes that had flown to the BACON capital in recent weeks.
He fell ill on Nov. 1 after soon after eating “all day breakfast” whilst enroute to Manchester. Significant amounts of cholesterol and fatty deposits were also found in his body.
BA Connect is now trying to contact 3,000 passengers and 300 crew members who have been onboard aircrafts where traces of salmonella were found.
Yesterday the company announced that traces of salmonella were found in most of its aircrafts where food has been on sale. BACON did not specify the type of the substance, believed to emanate from crew food, but noted that the risk for people was very small. The contaminated planes are also grounded which may preclude the ongoing transfer of the airline to Flybe.
