A Gulf Air flight from Bahrain to Paris was diverted to Iraq when a member of the cabin crew suffered a heart attack.
The pilots of the Airbus A321 landed at Erbil International Airport at about 4am on Tuesday after declaring a medical emergency.
The aircraft was at 34,000 feet when the incident happened, Ahmed Hoshyar, director of Erbil airport, told Iraqi media.
The crew member, Yasser Saleh, was found to be dead on arrival in an Erbil hospital.
“The national carrier expresses its deepest condolences to the crew member’s family and loved ones, and confirms that the flight resumed to Paris as scheduled,” the airline said.
“Gulf Air reassures that the safety of its passengers and crew comes at the top of its priorities, and thanks the affected flight’s passengers for their patience and understanding.”

Tips for job-seekers
- Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
- Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
