Emergency landing in Glasgow – Plane crew tried CPR for 40 minutes to revive unconscious passenger
A 44-year-old man breathed his last during a flight from the Turkish city of Antalya to Scotland and Glasgow.
The 44-year-old died while the aircraft was flying at an altitude of thousands of feet. Flight attendants tried for 40 minutes with CPR to revive the passenger, but were unsuccessful.
The Jet2 pilot requested an emergency landing on a priority basis at Glasgow Airport, bypassing the priority queue.
The 44-year-old was pronounced dead by doctors immediately after the forced landing.
One of the passengers on the plane described to Daily Record the moments of agony he experienced:
“We were about 40 minutes before landing when all the cabin crew started running to the seats behind me.
They pulled a man out of his seat and gave him mouth breaths. The pilot came to inform us that we would have to make an emergency landing due to a medical incident. We had to land with all the cabin lights on and it was very scary because you know it’s very dangerous.”
The passenger said the cabin crew were still trying to retrieve the man during the emergency landing as other passengers were crying and upset.
“When we landed, the medical staff came and we stayed on the plane for about half an hour before they released us. Everyone on the plane was really upset, but the Jet2 staff were so professional and acted with the utmost respect.”said the passenger.
