Bhubaneswar: A passenger on board a Kolkata-Bengaluru Indigo flight died after suddenly falling ill, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing at Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar on Saturday morning.
Rajkumar Karmakar (32), a resident of Malda, was taken to Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar, where he was declared "brought dead". Karmakar was on his way to Bengaluru for a health check-up.
Bhubaneswar airport director Suresh Chandra Hota said 45 minutes into the flight, the aircraft sought landing permission from Bhubaneswar air traffic control. "The patient developed some health issues on the plane, forcing the pilots to land. The aircraft took off for Bengaluru shortly after Karmakar was rushed the hospital," he said.
Sunil Choudhary, Karmakar's relative who was accompanying him, said, "His BP fell and his pulse dropped. I sought help from the crew, who contacted the pilots." He, however, refused to provide details of the deceased's medical history.
