Hyderabad, July 18: An Emirates flight, EK 374, flying from Dubai to Bangkok, made an emergency landing at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), Shamshabad, on Tuesday morning after a passenger suffered a cardiac arrest. The 19-year-old passenger, Ali Ibrahim Parwish Sangoor Al Balooshi, was attended to by airport doctors in the aircraft and was declared dead following which his body was shifted to the RGIA Apollo Hospital. The patient was a resident of Dubai.


The Emirates aircraft from Dubai landed at the Shamshabad airport at around 5.04am. Doctors at Apollo said the teenager suffered a cardiac arrest while on the flight. He was declared dead at 5.36am. Confirming the incident, Emirates officials in Dubai in their official statement said that the flight eventually departed from Hyderabad (for Bangkok) at around 6.10am. The officials, however, did not provide any other information about the deceased passenger. Police sources claimed that Al Balooshi was travelling to Bangkok with his parents for an obesity treatment. He weighed around 220 kgs.


The RGIA police registered a case under section 174 of the CrPC (unnatural death that leads to inquest and post-mortem) following a complaint lodged by Emirates. Police confirmed that the passenger died a natural death on the aircraft, thus ruling out any possibility of foul play. "After preliminary investigation and post-mortem, the body was handed over to his parents at around 12.30pm, who were also travelling with him," said D Durga Prasad, inspector, RGIA police station. The body was kept at the airport cargo thereafter. "The boy's parents took the body back to Dubai on a late night flight," the inspector added.

Panaji, Feb 23: A MiG-29K aircraft crashed off Goa during a routine training sortie on Sunday morning, the Indian Navy said in a statement.

"The pilot ejected safely and has been recovered. An enquiry into the incident has been ordered," the statement said.

On November 16, a MiG-29K trainer flight had crashed after a bird hit, soon after it took off the Dabolim International airport, which functions out of the Indian Navy base INS Hansa.

Both pilots had managed to safely eject themselves to safety after both the engines of their jet failed.

According to data tabled in the recent budget session of the Goa Assembly, every ten days, at least one aircraft landing or taking off at Goa's Dabolim international airport faces dangers involving birds or stray dogs near the runway.
