A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight traveling from Dubai to Islamabad experienced a heartbreaking event as a passenger onboard suffered a heart attack and passed away.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) reported that the male passenger, Malik Jahanzaib, had a stroke during the flight due to a heart attack. He was a resident of Abbottabad, according to CAA officials, and the body has been handed over to his family.
In another similar incident, a chartered PIA flight from Paris had to make an emergency landing in Bulgaria after a woman also died from a cardiac arrest.
The flight was en route to Islamabad, but the emergency landing became necessary when the woman’s health deteriorated mid-flight.
