Passenger Death / Critical illness during flight
Dear All,
Out of ignorance, what is the procedure if a passenger:
a) Dies in mid flight on a 12 hour intercontinental flight
b) Turns critically ill on a 12 hour intercontinental flight
Referring to point (a), if the passenger resides in the country you took off from, does the body just go back on the next flight back?
Referring to point (b), do the airlines have specific procedures in place or is it the captain's call to continue / land?
Any comments?
