Bengaluru: An Air India Express flight operating from Jaipur to Bengaluru made an emergency landing at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar International Airport in Indore on Tuesday following a medical emergency involving an infant passenger.

The infant, identified as Mohammed Abrar and aged around one year, reportedly suffered a choking incident while onboard the aircraft. When the child was brought to the hospital nearest to the airport, he was declared dead on arrival, The New Indian Express reported.

According to the report, the child was sick even before boarding. While on air, a cabin crew member spotted his mother crying and approached to help, when the full seriousness of the incident came to light. After some crew members tried to help, a doctor onboard who was travelling as a passenger tried to help as well, to no effect.

As the infant’s condition deteriorated, the flight crew declared a medical emergency and diverted the aircraft to Indore. Medical personnel were present on the ground upon landing, but the child could not be saved.

The exact cause of the choking is unclear. Further details are awaited.
