A Jet2 aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, after a 70-year-old passenger’s health suddenly worsened. According to Nottingham Post, the plane had taken off from Tenerife and was en route to East Midlands Airport in Nottingham, UK, last Friday.
However, due to a serious medical issue with one of the passengers, the flight crew had to make an emergency landing. The pilot diverted the aircraft to Santiago Rozalea de Castro Airport, ensuring that medical emergency teams would be on-site to assist.
Despite the arrival of airport medical personnel, the passenger could not be saved and was confirmed dead. Spanish authorities have not revealed the nationality of the deceased passenger, and Jet2 has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
Following the incident, no information has been provided about whether the flight continued or the condition of the other passengers.
