An anonymous passenger from the flight said: \u201cWe were around 40 minutes away from landing and the next minute, all the cabin crew started running toward the seats behind me.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cA man had been pulled onto the aisle and they were trying to give him mouth-to-mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe pilot came on to inform us we were going to have to do an emergency landing due to a medical incident on-board, and we had to land with all our cabin lights on \u2013 it was quite scary because you know that is quite dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhile that was happening, they were still down there trying to resuscitate the man.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople were crying and really shaken up by it, it was really sad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The passenger added that when the flight landed, paramedics boarded the plane.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, they did praise Jet2 staff for being \u201cprofessional and respectful\u201d during the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jet2 has confirmed the incident took place, and said that their \u201cthoughts are with the customer\u2019s family and friends at this very difficult time\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
