Mumbai: An Emirates flight, an Airbus 380, had to make an emergency landing at the city’s international terminal (T2) on Wednesday afternoon. The flight was flying to Dubai from Sydney and had to make an emergency landing after two passengers complained of feeling sick.
The non-scheduled Emirates flight EK 415 (registration A6-EDE) that landed at T2 at 2.10 pm on Wednesday could depart only at around 4 pm. Two of the passengers on the flight complained of feeling sick, after which the pilot sought the city’s Air Traffic Control’s (ATC) permission for emergency landing.
One of the passengers, Stefan Spatino (seated on 76 H), a 21-year-old Australian complained of chest pain and was offloaded. “After seeing him, another onboard passenger, a senior citizen complained of high blood pressure,” said an MIAL spokesperson.
There were total of 444 passengers and 26 crewmembers on board. The MIAL on duty doctors were immediately called and initial medical attention was provided to Stefan and Henson Carmel (a 64-year-old passenger). After that these passengers were rushed to the SevenHills hospital for further treatment.
A total of five passengers were offloaded after completing the immigration formalities. These five include Stefan’s parents John and Caterina, and Henson’s husband Malcolm.
