In-Flight Meal Kills Miami Man

As it deals with fallout from its bankruptcy announcement,
American Airlines is also facing the wrath of a family who claim their
loved one died after eating a meal served by the carrier.
The wife and daughter of the late Othon Cortes of Miami are suing the
airline and Sky Chefs for more than $1 million, alleging he ate food
contaminated with bacteria during a flight from Barcelona, Spain, to New
York.

The incident happened on May 18 after Cortes consumed an in-flight
meal that allegedly contained chicken, according to a lawsuit filed last
week in the U.S. District Court in Miami.

As is typical for active lawsuits, American Airlines declined to
comment about the complaint or its allegations, said Tim Smith, a
spokesman for the carrier.

Meanwhile, LSG Sky Chefs -- a German company that produces airline
meals for more than 300 airlines -- has begun the process to dismiss the
case, said spokeswoman Josefine Corsten.

"Based upon the allegations in the complaint it is not possible that
Sky Chefs is the responsible party because we did not cater the
Barcelona flight in question," she said.

The lawsuit states that after the plane landed at John F. Kennedy
International Airport and as Cortes and his wife waited for their next
flight to Miami, Cortes felt "discomfort and pain that included sharp
stomach cramps and sudden thirst and other clear outward manifestation
of severe physical illness."

During the flight to Miami, Cortes experienced nausea and shortness
of breath, and became unresponsive after a cardiac event, forcing the
plane to make an emergency landing in Norfolk, Virginia, his wife and
daughter said. He was pronounced dead on arrival.

Cortes' family alleges that his death was caused by poisoned food
that American Airlines and Sky Chefs served on the international flight.
It accuses the companies of "failing to properly maintain or prepare
the food" and alleges the companies allowed the food to become
contaminated with Clostridium perfringens bacteria.

Perfringens poisoning is one of the most commonly reported foodborne illnesses in the U.S., according to the FDA.

It is very rarely fatal, but a few deaths have been reported as a
result of dehydration and other complications, the agency said.
