A British couple behind a popular London-based spiritual wellness brand shared a video from the airport moments before boarding the doomed Air India flight that crashed shortly after takeoff on Thursday.
Jamie Ray Greenlaw-Meek and Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek, co-founders of The Wellness Foundry, were among 53 British nationals on board the flight, which carried 242 passengers. In an Instagram video, Fiongal says, “We are at the airport, just boarding. Goodbye India,” while Jamie jokes about the 10-hour journey ahead.
The couple had just completed a 10-day wellness retreat, calling their time in India “magical.” Jamie reflected on their final night, praising their hotel stay and a “delicious Thali” dinner.
Jamie’s brother, Nick Meek, said the couple was due home that evening. “We were expecting him to land at 6:30pm,” he said. “It’s all very raw.”
Footage of the crash, showing the plane erupting into flames over a residential area, has circulated widely. Only one survivor is known.
Based in Vauxhall, The Wellness Foundry offers tarot, aura readings, and life coaching. Fiongal founded it in 2018 after a spiritual awakening; Jamie joined in 2023. The business has worked with clients like Netflix, Google, and Dior. Fiongal has appeared on This Morning and the NewlyWeds podcast, and been featured in Time Out, The Times, and Daily Mail.
