An IndiGo flight heading to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, made an emergency landing at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan, on Saturday due to a medical emergency onboard.
The flight, which had departed from New Delhi, was in Pakistani airspace when a 55-year-old Indian male passenger fell seriously ill, according to Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) sources. Despite receiving oxygen, the passenger’s condition did not improve, leading the pilot to contact Karachi air traffic control.
The air traffic control allowed the plane to land in Karachi on humanitarian grounds, where a medical team boarded to provide emergency care. After the situation was resolved, the flight continued its journey back to New Delhi instead of proceeding to Jeddah, as reported by sources.
