This past Wednesday, a pilot of the Turkish airline Turkish Airlines died in flight after an illness, causing his plane to make an emergency landing in New York.
“Our captain lost his life before landing”
The plane, which left Tuesday night from Seattle, on the west coast of the United States, was destined for Istanbul. “The captain of our Airbus 350 plane […] TK204 died during the flight. After a futile attempt at first aid, our horse [composé de deux autres pilotes, NDLR] they decided to make an emergency landing, but our captain lost his life before landing,” Turkish Airlines spokesman Yahya Üstün told X.
The pilot, aged 59, had passed a routine medical check-up in early March, the Turkish company said.
