South African Airways said Monday it has launched an investigation after a dead body was found in the undercarriage of one of its planes when it landed in Washington.
The body was discovered in the wheel well of an Airbus A340-300 after it landed at Dulles International Airport in Washington DC last week after flying from Johannesburg via Dakar.
The airline said the identity of the body has not yet been established.
