Flight delay and history of another tragedy

The scheduled landing time was at 14:45 in Loire-Atlantique, but the plane landed eight hours later, around 23:00.

This event occurred after another man died on board an easyJet flight heading to London in November 2022.

That plane was in the air from Cyprus to Gatwick airport when a man, about 50 years old, felt unwell during the flight.

Endless attempts to resuscitate the passenger using a defibrillator unfortunately were unsuccessful.

Flight EZY8454 consisted mainly of travelers returning from a winter holiday in 24°C Paphos.

The plane took off from the Greek island at 14:20 local time, but the alarm about the man's condition broke out around 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time.

Witnesses reported that the man appeared to be traveling alone and could not be awakened.

Passengers were delayed upon landing at Gatwick so that medics could board and confirm the man’s death.

These tragic incidents highlight the importance of crew readiness for medical emergencies during flights. Airlines usually take all necessary measures to ensure passenger safety, but sometimes circumstances prove to be unpredictable. The aircraft delayed due to the incident caused concern among all travelers, as delays among others could be related to long investigations.
