The airline is making contact with up to 33,000 passengers after traces of polonium-210 were found on two Boeing 767 aircraft grounded at Heathrow airport in London, while a third plane is being probed in Moscow. Up to 33,000 passengers travelled on the 221 European flights affected, including 33 on the London to Moscow route, BA said. EPA/ANDY RAIN
