"After the initial medical intervention on board proved ineffective, the cockpit crew, consisting of one captain and one co-pilot, decided to make an emergency landing," an airline spokesperson, Yahya Üstün, said in a statement.
"As Turkish Airlines, we deeply feel the loss of our captain and extend our sincerest condolences to his bereaved family, colleagues, and all his loved ones," it added. This underscores the emotional impact on the airline and its staff.
The incident highlights the reason behind having multiple pilots. It comes as the prospect of single-pilot operations... continues to be debated in the industry.
