Gulf Air flight attendant dies from heart attack while working on flight to Paris

A flight attendant died in the air.

A flight attendant died in the air after he had a heart attack.

The tragedy took place last week when Yasser Al Yazidi was working on the flight.

The captain made an emergency landing in the Iraqi city of Erbil after Al Yazidi had a heart attack.

He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital after the medical team on the ground took him to the hospital.

Passengers were able to continue their journey to Paris after the flight was halted for four hours at Erbil International Airport.

Gulf Air expressed its deepest sympathies to the crew member's family and loved ones and confirmed that the flight resumed to Paris as scheduled.

The safety of its passengers and crew comes at the top of its priorities, andGulf Air thanks the passengers for their patience and understanding.

Most commercial flights don't have specialized medical equipment, meaning they have to make an emergency landing when there is a serious medical issue.
