An EasyJet pilot suffered a collapse on a flight on Feb. 8, causing a mid-air fright and leading to a diversion in Greece, according to an airline official.
Passengers were rattled during a recent international flight after an England-bound plane made an emergency stop in Greece over the weekend, citing a "medical emergency." EasyJet, a low-cost airline based in the United Kingdom, was operating a flight from Hurghada, Egypt, to Manchester on Feb. 8, when the plane's pilot suddenly collapsed en route. A passenger told the Manchester Evening News that the pilot collapsed around two hours into the flight.
The following call was from the cabin crew to advise this was the captain/pilot who was seeking medical attention and has fell unwell and we again would be further updated with what was going to happen," the traveler added. "At this point, the passengers were starting to get rather worried and anxious, including myself, knowing that it was a pilot and not the passenger." "The ride began to get very rough and scary.
EasyJet also apologized for the inconvenience caused by the incident, as the flight was delayed overnight. "We did all possible to minimize the impact of the disruption and arranged hotel rooms and meals where available," the statement said. "We would like to apologize to passengers for the inconvenience caused and thank them for their patience and understanding.
