SYDNEY, (APP/AFP) – A passenger has died
aboard a Qantas jet bound for Dubai, the airline said Saturday,
with the man reportedly suffering from a heart attack mid-air.
Flight QF9, which was travelling from Melbourne Friday,
was diverted to Muscat, Oman for the medical emergency but was
unable to land in time to save the man.
“Our crew did everything they could, including helping
perform CPR with a doctor who was on board, but unfortunately
the passenger passed away before the flight landed,” the
Australian carrier said in a statement.
“Our thoughts are with the passenger’s family.”
