An 80-year-old man died at Mumbai airport after having to walk for over 1.5 km as there was no wheelchair available.
According to a report in the Times of India, the man arrived in Mumbai with his wife on an Air India flight from New York. The couple had arranged for wheelchair assistance, but due to a shortage, only one assistant was available. The wife used the wheelchair while the husband opted to walk beside her. However, after walking around 1.5 km, he suddenly suffered a heart attack and collapsed. He was promptly taken to the medical facility at Mumbai airport and then transferred to Nanavati Hospital.
