The captain of the aircraft belonging to Qantas Airlines, operating on the London–Singapore route, requested an emergency landing at Heydar Aliyev International Airport, APA reports citing the Public Relations Service of Azerbaijan’s international airports.
The reason was the sudden deterioration of the health of one of the passengers on board.
The Airbus A380 aircraft successfully landed at 07:55 Baku time. Immediate medical assistance was provided to the passenger on site. Currently, the necessary medical evaluation and observation process regarding the passenger’s health is ongoing.
