Captain İlçehin Pehlivan

A Turkish Airlines flight has made an emergency landing at JFK International Airport in New York, USA after the pilot, İlçehin Pehlivan fainted and subsequently died mid-flight, the airline said Wednesday, October 9.

The plane had taken off from Seattle, USA on Tuesday and was intended to land in Istanbul, according to Turkish Airlines spokesman Yahya Üstün. Unfortunately, the pilot collapsed during the flight, and he d!ed after attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

“The pilot of our Airbus 350… flight TK204 from Seattle to Istanbul collapsed during the flight,” Üstün wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“After an unsuccessful attempt to give first aid, the flight crew of another pilot and a co-pilot decided to make an emergency landing, but he died before landing.

The flight-tracking website FlightAware shows that Turkish Airlines flight TK204 departed from Seattle on Tuesday at 7:02 p.m. and landed at JFK on Wednesday at 5:57 a.m. Turkish Airlines identified the pilot as İlçehin Pehlivan, 59, who had worked for the airline since 2007.

According to the airline’s spokesman, Pehlivan underwent a periodic health exam on August 3 and was given a clean bill of health by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation.

The passengers on diverted flight TK204 will be flown to Istanbul from JFK International, according to the airline.

“As the Turkish Airlines family, we wish God’s mercy upon our captain and patience to his grieving family, all his colleagues and loved ones,” Üstün said.
