ISIS India head, Saquib Nachan dies in Delhi hospital after brain haemorrhage
An IndiGo flight from Bangkok bound for the city was diverted to Yangon (Yangon), Myanmar, due to an on-board medical emergency on Sunday, the airline said.
The passenger was declared dead "upon arrival" by the "airport medical team", IndiGo said in a statement on Monday.
“IndiGo flight 6E-57 from Bangkok to Mumbai was diverted to Yangon due to a medical emergency on board. Unfortunately, the passenger was pronounced dead on arrival by the airport medical team," the airline said in a brief statement.
However, IndiGo did not disclose further details.
This is the second case where an IndiGo passenger fell ill mid-air during a flight and subsequently died. Earlier on March 17, a Ranchi-Pune IndiGo flight was diverted to Nagpur airport after a passenger had a medical emergency. The passenger was taken to the hospital upon arrival, where he was pronounced dead.
