The man was not travelling with anyone according to reports and “didn’t wake up” so the alarm was raised.
A passenger, who did not wish to be named, said: “We were around 40 minutes away from landing and the next minute, all the cabin crew started running toward the seats behind me. A man had been pulled onto the aisle and they were trying to give him mouthtomouth.
“The pilot came on to inform us we were going to have to do an emergency landing due to a medical incident onboard. We had to land with all our cabin lights on and it was quite scary.
“However, the staff at Jet2 were so professional and respectful during the incident.”
