A Jet2 passenger died on a flight from Tenerife to Manchester this weekend, with the plane forced to make an emergency landing in Newquay.
An alert was issued that a passenger required medical assistance three hours into the four and a half hour flight.
A woman is thought to have alerted staff to feeling ill before she then passed out and underwent CPR.
After the pilot made the emergency landing in Cornwall, the woman was taken off the plane on a scoop stretcher.
The plane then refuelled before continuing its journey up to Manchester.
