SICK WOMAN GROUNDS FLIGHT
A London-bound aircraft flying over Chennai airspace on Sunday night made an emergency landing here after an Australian woman onboard suffered an epileptic attack.
According to airport sources, the Virgin Atlantic flight from Kuala Lumpur to London via Abu Dhabi was near Chennai when 26-year-old Nguyelle Hoaimi suffered seizures. The crew was not able to stabilize her condition and they sought permission from the Air Traffic Control here for an emergency landing.
Quick arrangements were made, and the clearance to land was given at 11.10 pm. The airport medical team deplaned the woman and treated her. Later, she was shifted to a private hospital in the city. The plane departed a little after 1 am.
