Close to 30 people escaped from a plane at Barcelona’s airport after it made an emergency landing for a woman who appeared to be faking childbirth.
A Pegasus Airlines flight from Casablanca, Morocco, to Istanbul had 228 passengers on board when an emergency landing was requested by the crew because a woman appeared to be in labour.
The plane landed at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport and as the so-called pregnant woman was getting evacuated from the plane, 27 passengers exited the aircraft without authorisation and “tried to flee”, officials said.
