British Airways faces £50k lawsuit over business class passenger’s in-flight injury

A businessman is suing British Airways for more than £50,000 after a mid-flight injury left him with lasting physical damage and alleged psychological trauma, including nightmares and flashbacks.

Andrew Chesterton, 61, sustained the injury while travelling from Heathrow to Cincinnati in 2023. What began as a routine journey quickly turned into a distressing incident that has now escalated into a legal battle over compensation and liability.
