A woman has “suddenly” di£d on a 17-hour flight from New York after the crew battled to save her.
Emergency services were called to attend the “sudden d£ath” after the plane landed in New Zealand.
An investigation into the woman’s tragic d£ath was launched on Tuesday, April 14, by the coroner.
A spokesperson for Qantas has since confirmed the mysterious ordeal on the long-haul flight.
“Urgent assistance was provided by crew and doctors onboard but sadly they passed away,” the spokesperson said.
“In line with standard procedure, emergency services met the aircraft as part of the response.”
The spokesperson also sent the airline’s condolences to the friends and family of the woman.
Her d£ath has come nearly one month after a passenger on a British Airways flight d!ed mid-flight and was left in a heated galley for more than 13 hours.
The woman in her 60s passed away an hour after take-off from Hong Kong on March 15.
