In Yekaterinburg, the departure of a flight to Egypt was delayed due to the condition of a passenger

At Yekaterinburg Koltsovo airport, flight SM-908 to Hurghada (Egypt) was delayed for more than two hours. Before the flight, the passenger became ill, an eyewitness said.

“We turned the plane around. The passenger became ill on board,” E1.RU reports the words of an eyewitness. Doctors removed the woman from the aircraft cabin. The Air Cairo airliner was scheduled to take off from Yekaterinburg at 07:10 and land in Hurghada at 10:40 local time. The flight was rescheduled to 09:30.

A URA.RU correspondent contacted the airport press service for comment. At the time of publication, a response could not be received.
