A British Airways stewardess reportedly died after contracting malaria in Ghana whilst working on a London-Accra flight.

The woman apparently went to stay in a hotel in Accra with some colleagues, where she’s believed to have contracted the ailment.

A major internal investigation has been launched by the airline to try and determine how the tragedy occurred.

Mirror UK reports…

“A British Airways steward has died after catching malaria in Africa.

The woman became ill after working on a long haul flight from Heathrow to Ghana’s capital Accra.

She is believed to have been staying at a hotel in the city with other BA cabin crew members when she started showing signs of the disease.

A major internal investigation is under way into how the woman – who has not been named – contracted the illness.

All BA air crew flying to the West African country are given anti malarial tablets and medical advice about how to protect themselves while working abroad.

One source said: “It’s obviously devastating for her family and all who knew her.

“There is huge concern about cabin and flight crew flying to Ghana after such a tragic incident.
