A Turkish Airlines flight made an emergency landing at JFK after pilot Ilcehin Pehlivan, 59, died of natural causes while navigating an Istanbul-bound flight.
Despite a physical examination in March that showed no health issues, the veteran pilot collapsed mid-flight. The co-pilot and second pilot successfully managed the emergency.
After the pilot's death, passengers were assisted with alternative arrangements to continue their journey to Istanbul, demonstrating the airline's commitment to passenger care.
