A spokesperson for the low-cost airline Eurowings stated yesterday that there was a medical emergency on the flight, and the passenger received immediate medical attention from the cabin crew. The spokesperson said the crew decided to make a stop at the nearest airport. At Klagenfurt Airport, the passenger immediately received urgent medical care. The spokesperson continued, "Unfortunately, the passenger died at the location where medical care was provided, and Eurowings expresses its heartfelt condolences to his family and sympathies with them." The spokesperson did not provide further details due to the passenger's privacy. According to the German newspaper "Bild," the man was 71 years old and from North Rhine-Westphalia.
