A shocked passenger has told how it took paramedics over an hour to arrive after his flight from Edinburgh had to be diverted when a fellow flyer fell ill.
John Barrett, from Edinburgh, was aboard the Jet2 flight from Madeira to the capital on Monday night when the midair drama unfolded. The pilot declared an emergency and landed the plane at Bristol Airport so the poorly passenger could receive medical attention.
But John described the resulting delay as "bizarre and a bit scary" and told how everyone on board was "surprised that there wasn't really an ambulance waiting for the plane."
