Aer Lingus Plane Diverts to Cork Airport after Passenger’s Death Mid-Air
Aer Lingus flight EI 485 was forced to make an emergency landing at Cork Airport, Cork, Ireland, on the afternoon of October 18.
The Airbus A320-200, en-route to Dublin, Ireland, from Lisbon, Portugal, had to be diverted in emergency after a 24-year-old passenger “ran amok” and later died mid-air.
The plane landed uneventfully.
Among 168 passengers and 6 crew members aboard, 1 person sustained minor injuries while trying to help the man.
