SAN PEDRO: A tense situation unfolded mid-air when a passenger flight en route to San Pedro experienced an unexpected medical emergency. Cabin crew were alerted by nearby passengers when an individual onboard began to exhibit signs of severe distress. Flight attendants quickly sprang into action, notifying the pilot and initiating emergency response protocols to stabilize the passenger’s condition.
The crew made a cabin-wide announcement asking for any medically trained professionals to assist. Fortunately, a registered nurse traveling on the same flight stepped forward and provided immediate care using the plane’s onboard medical kit. Oxygen was administered, and the passenger was placed in a more secure seating position to ensure their safety during the remainder of the flight.
Due to the seriousness of the incident, the pilot contacted air traffic control to coordinate a possible emergency landing. However, after a brief evaluation and confirmation from the onboard nurse that the situation was under control, it was deemed safe to proceed to San Pedro as planned. Passengers remained calm and cooperative throughout the ordeal.
Upon landing, paramedics were already waiting on the tarmac to assist the passenger and transport them to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. The airline later released a statement commending the quick response of both crew and passengers, emphasizing their commitment to onboard safety and preparedness in unexpected situations.
