FlySafair Flight Delayed After Abandoned Foetus Found In Airplane’s Toilet

Flight FA411 scheduled to travel from Durban to Johannesburg was delayed after a foetus was discovered aboard at King Shaka International airport in Durban on Friday morning.

In a statement, FlySafair stated that authorities were immediately alerted and arrived on the scene to investigate.

“Upon final checks of the waste management system, our teams encountered a finding which requires formal investigation from technical teams and police authorities. The issue has unfortunately meant that the aircraft would be unable to operate this flight,” read the statement.

Provincial SAPS spokesperson, Colonel Thembeka Mbele said the foetus was discovered in the early hours of Friday.

“A case of concealment of birth has been opened,” she added.

While FlySafair would not comment on the findings, it said its teams were working with the relevant parties to initiate a backup plan.
