KARACHI:

An Air Arabia flight en route from Kathmandu to Sharjah made an emergency landing at Karachi Airport after a crew member fell seriously ill.

The flight attendant, identified as Anas from Morocco, experienced severe breathing difficulties during the flight, prompting the captain to request an emergency landing at Karachi Air Traffic Control (ATC).

Upon entering Pakistani airspace, the flight was immediately diverted from Rahim Yar Khan to Karachi for an urgent landing.

After landing, doctors from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) examined the flight attendant.

Due to the severity of his condition, Anas was swiftly transferred to Aga Khan Hospital for further medical treatment.
