A Turkish Airlines passenger plane flying from Kazan to Antalya had to change course and land in Kazakhstan.

Axar.az informs that the Russian press reported on this.

According to information, a 17-year-old Russian passenger on the plane had a heart attack during the flight. Despite the efforts of the doctors on the plane, it was not possible to save him. This is why the plane had to land in Kazakhstan. Later, the plane flew to Trabzon to refuel.

The plane managed to land in Antalya 12 hours after taking off from Kazan.

It should be noted that today the passenger plane flying from Antalya to Yekaterinburg had to land at Kazakhstan's Aktau airport due to the failure of one of the engines.
