Sri Lankan woman death: Flight makes emergency landing at Karachi airport

A foreign airline flight en route from Dubai to Colombo made an emergency landing at Karachi airport following the sudden deterioration of a female passenger’s health.

Tragically, the 57-year-old Sri Lankan woman, identified as Palawini, died during the flight.

According to sources, the incident occurred when Palawini’s health, a passenger on the Dubai-Colombo flight, suddenly worsened mid-flight. The flight captain immediately requested Karachi’s air traffic control for an emergency landing at its airport to seek urgent medical assistance.

Upon landing, doctors from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) boarded the aircraft to check on the passenger. Despite their efforts, Palawini was pronounced dead. Sources confirmed that she suffered from a cardiac arrest during the flight.

The federal health officer stationed at the airport subsequently issued a death certificate for the woman. After completing the necessary formalities, the flight carrying her body departed from Karachi airport to its original destination in Colombo.

The airline has not yet commented on the incident. Passengers and crew members expressed their condolences to the family of the deceased.
