An Indian plane has made an emergency landing at the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi after a passenger’s health deteriorated during a flight, sources told The Express Tribune on Tuesday. The passenger, 30-year-old Muhammad Noushad, was pronounced dead after a team of doctors reached at the airport for medical aid, they added. According to the medical team, the passenger had suffered a cardiac arrest and breathed his last before the plane landed. Later, the sources said, the Indian plane departed from the Karachi airport after refuelling. Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian traffic after aerial dogfights in February last year ratcheted up tensions between the two nuclear armed rivals.
