Authorities said the plane, heading from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was diverted due to a medical emergency. It is believed that an elderly woman passenger suffered from severe chest pain mid air.

The plane landed safely. All 286 passengers remained unhurt.

The 71-year-old passenger was rushed to a hospital in Guindy, along with two attendants.

The flight resumed after half an hour.
