“Despite the rapid and professional intervention, unfortunately her life could not be saved,” the airport said in a statement. The girl’s family got off the plane in Budapest, and the flight ultimately continued to New York, where it landed more than four hours late. “We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones and share their pain,” Turkish Airlines said in its statement.
Life-threatening medical emergencies in the air are rare, an aviation health expert told The Washington Post last month. He said less than 2 percent of medical events during flights are severe enough for a plane to be diverted. A study in 2013 found that medical problems – including fainting, breathing problems and nausea or vomiting – come up in 1 out of every 604 flights.
