A TUI-operated flight from Djerba, Tunisia, to Brussels was forced to make an emergency landing in Marseille on Saturday after a Belgian passenger suffered a heart attack on board.
The incident occurred shortly before 11:20 on flight TB2706, carrying 186 passengers. The pilot informed those on board of the medical emergency and diverted the Boeing 737 MAX 8 registered OO-TMA to Marseille, where it landed shortly after noon.
A medical team was waiting at the airport to provide immediate care to the man, who is reported to be in his 70s.
