Landed DNMM a few days ago, purser calls to say a nursing mother had fainted on short finals and was now laying in the aisle. We called the tower to request an ambulance.
20 mins after, she feels a lot better, gets up and walks off the aeroplane "under her own power"
We proceed to call for boarding then halfway through the boarding process, ambulance rocks up. 45 minutes after the initial call.
Makes me wonder what if it was a real emergency.
How is that Africa?
That could be any city in almost any country I've ever been in, USA, UK, Canada, any central American country.
Heck, 45 minutes is actually pretty fast, maybe that's why you're so surprised, because in the US or UK it would be more like 2 hours...
