Etihad Airways Cargo Pilot Dies During Flight

Aircraft Diverted To Kuwait For An Emergency Landing

The pilot of an Etihad Airways cargo flight passed away during the flight earlier this week, forcing a diversion to Kuwait for an emergency landing.

The online site Emirates247.com reports that the plane was flying from Abu Dhabi to Amsterdam when the pilot passed away. A medical team met the plane in Kuwait, but was unable to resuscitate the pilot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Etihad Airways is saddened to report the death of one of its pilots onboard flight EY 927, a freighter service from Abu Dhabi to Amsterdam. After the captain became incapacitated early in the flight, the First Officer issued an emergency call and safely diverted the aircraft to Kuwait," Etihad said in a statement.

"We are deeply saddened by the loss, and are focused on taking care of our late colleague’s family at this time, to whom we offer our heartfelt condolences," the carrier said.
