A Lufthansa flight bound for Germany was abruptly diverted to India following the tragic death of a passenger mid-flight. The aircraft, which departed from Bangkok, Thailand, was en route to Munich when the incident occurred.
According to reports, the cabin crew noticed the passenger was unresponsive and immediately initiated emergency medical procedures. Despite their efforts, the individual could not be revived.
The pilot made the decision to land at the nearest suitable airport, which happened to be in Delhi, India. Emergency services were on standby as the plane touched down.
Lufthansa has since issued a statement expressing their condolences to the family of the deceased. "Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the passenger during this difficult time," a spokesperson said.
This marks yet another sobering reminder of the unpredictable nature of air travel. While such incidents are rare, airlines are trained to handle medical emergencies with the utmost professionalism.
The flight eventually continued its journey to Munich after a delay of several hours. Authorities have not released details about the identity of the deceased or the cause of death.
