HOUSTON — A passenger on board a Lufthansa flight died while en route to Houston, a Lufthansa official said.
The flight landed at George Bush Intercontinental Airport around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The flight originated from Frankfurt, Germany.
The Germany-based airline issued the following statement Tuesday afternoon:
Unfortunately, a passenger on Lufthansa flight LH 440 (A380-800 aircraft) from Frankfurt to Houston, passed away while in flight. As is normal procedure, upon arrival, all passengers must remain onboard while the local authorities and police complete their job. A delay to de-board LH 440 was expected and so therefore the LH 441 (Houston – Frankfurt) departure was pushed back to one hour later.
