A Turkish Airlines plane flying from Istanbul to Singapore made an emergency landing in the Calcutta airport on Thursday after a 69-year-old passenger fell seriously ill mid-air, an official said here.
The elderly passenger suffered from bouts of convulsions and was bleeding from the nose and mouth, the official said.
Seeing his condition, the pilot of the Turkish Airlines flight TK-054 decided to make an emergency landing at the NSC Bose International Airport in Calcutta.
