A passenger plane traveling from Bahrain to Paris was left with no decision but to make an emergency landing after a flight attendant reportedly died mid-air.
The airline was identified to be Gulf Air and the air steward who died was identified as Yasser Saleh Al Yazidi. He was taken ill abroad on a flight last week, as confirmed by local media outlets.
He suffered from a heart attack at 34,000 feet during the flight taking place from Bahrain to Paris. Therefore, the pilots were left with no decision but to divert to a nearby airport in Iraq but by that time, Yasser was already stated to have passed away before reaching the hospital for emergency help.
The pilots aboard the Airbus A321 were left with no decision but to make an emergency landing in Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq and that’s just so the victim could receive appropriate medical attention.
The plane was soon met with a medical team who immediately transferred the cabin crew member to a nearby hospital. But upon arrival, he was already pronounced dead, as confirmed by reports from local media outlets.
The aircraft was seen cruising at an altitude of nearly 34,000 feet over the country of Iraq when Yasser was reportedly ill, as confirmed by the director of Iraqi media.
The flight was stated to be grounded for a good four hours before it made its way to the French capital city of Paris.
A recently published statement by the airline went on to speak about how the national carrier expresses great sadness and the deepest condolences for its loving crew member’s family and loved ones.
