On Saturday, an Indigo flight from Delhi to Jeddah had to make an emergency landing in Karachi. The reason behind this is said to be a medical emergency. The plane made an emergency landing at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority (CCA), the plane took off from New Delhi on Saturday. A male passenger fell seriously ill while the plane was flying in Pakistani airspace. His age is said to be 55 years old.

Seek landing permission

After seeing the sick passenger’s condition, the pilot gave him oxygen support on the first flight, but his condition did not improve after that. The condition of young people is getting worse. The flight was in Pakistan when the young man’s health deteriorated.

Seeing a medical emergency, the pilot contacted air traffic control (ATC). and requested permission to land in Pakistan. Air traffic control allowed the IndiGo to land in Karachi for humanitarian reasons.

As soon as the flight landed, the medical team rushed to the flight for emergency treatment. The young man received medical treatment. His condition has since improved. If sources are to be believed, the flight took off from Karachi and returned to New Delhi instead of flying to Jeddah after the passengers were treated.

Pakistan has made an emergency landing

In emergencies, Pakistan has made emergency landings many times before. Even in November, due to a medical emergency on an IndiGo flight from Jeddah to Hyderabad, the plane landed in Karachi, Pakistan.
