Fiji Airways has confirmed a passenger on its flight from Nadi to San Francisco last week passed away on the plane.
The 59-year-old male collapsed during the flight, which was a few hours away from San Francisco, said the airline.
“Despite the immediate response from our Cabin Crew, including CPR and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), the guest could not be revived,” said Fiji Airways.
“On behalf of Fiji Airways, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the guest’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
“We also wish to thank our other traveling guests for their patience, understanding, and cooperation under these tragic circumstances.”
Fiji Airways commended its crew for their swift and professional actions, ensuring that every possible measure was taken to assist the guest.
