A young Virgin Atlantic engineer who joined the airline to 'develop and learn more' about aircraft has died in a London hospital nearly a month after a machinery accident during maintenance on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Heathrow Airport, according to police and company statements.
For context, 23‑year‑old aircraft technician Georgie Buxton was seriously injured on the morning of 11 June while carrying out maintenance on a Virgin Atlantic 787‑9 in a Heathrow hangar.
