Two Medical Emergencies Onboard Easyjet Flight To London
Shortly after taking off from Christiano Ronaldo Airport (FNC), the crew of an Easyjet plane on its way to London took the decision to abort the flight. As reported by different media, two male passengers, one of them aged 77 years old, had a medical emergency. After landing, the men were rescued by the Firefighters Sapadores de Santa Cruz and the Rapid Intervention Medical Team (EMIR). Both men were then brought to a hospital and admitted to the emergency department.
A first passenger who was on board the easyJet plane, which left Madeira towards London, felt unwell and was treated immediately. Shortly afterwards, a second passenger presented the same symptoms, which ended up forcing the pilot to turn back
Health Emergencies Were Likely Connected And Happened Subsequently
Although a passenger's discomfort may not necessarily be the primary cause for a flight cancellation, it has been noted that emergencies ensued in this particular case. As reported by JM-Madeira, the second passenger exhibited the same symptoms only after the initial passenger had already experienced health issues. With the health conditions of both individuals deteriorating, prioritizing passenger safety necessitated a swift and responsible decision, making a return to Madeira the most suitable decision.
