A Doha-bound Qatar Airways aircraft from Thiruvananthapuram made an emergency landing on Saturday morning at the Goa airport after its commander fell sick mid-air, a senior official said.
The plane landed at the Goa airport at 7 am after getting the necessary clearances, said Airport Director BCH Negi.
“We received a message that the pilot on a Qatar Airways aircraft was feeling uneasy and that the plane sought permission for an emergency landing, which was granted after following all the procedures,” he added.
