The rest of the passengers remained on board while the situation was managed. Ground staff at Copenhagen airport worked quickly to assist the crew. They aimed to minimise any inconvenience to the other passengers. An airline representative said that the team on the ground did their best under challenging circumstances.

This kind of diversion is not uncommon in aviation. Airlines follow strict guidelines when a medical emergency arises during a flight. The crew is trained to evaluate the situation and decide if an unscheduled landing is needed. In this case, the decision to divert to Copenhagen ensured the passenger received proper care.

Passengers on the Air India flight experienced an unexpected delay. However, most travellers understand the need to put a person’s health first. The crew’s quick decision and the help of Copenhagen ground staff ensured the emergency was handled smoothly.

Despite the diversion, the flight arrived in London later that day. The passengers were able to continue their journey, albeit with a slight delay. In cases like this, the safety of everyone on board comes first, even if it means changing plans.
