Passenger passes away on Muscat-Islamabad flight, leading to
emergency landing
During a flight from Muscat to Islamabad, a passenger
tragically passed away, prompting an emergency landing at Jinnah International
Airport in Karachi.
The deceased passenger, identified as Besharat from Bagh,
Azad Jammu Kashmir, had his remains handed over to the Karachi Airport staff.
Notably, last month, an Indian passenger also passed away during
a flight returning to Chennai International Airport from Muscat. According to
the Times of India, the passenger's demise was suspected to be due to a cardiac
arrest. He had been working in Muscat and was on his way home for a vacation.

Upon the flight's arrival at the airport, the passenger
remained seated even after all other passengers had disembarked. The cabin crew
initially assumed he was asleep but, upon receiving no response, discovered him
unconscious and promptly alerted ground authorities. A medical team transported
the passenger to the airport's emergency medical center, where medical
professionals declared him deceased.
Airport police initiated the necessary procedures for a
post-mortem examination and informed the victim's family accordingly.
