easyJet flight diverts to Amsterdam after passenger receives CPR at 38,000
An easyJet Airbus A320 operating flight U23170 declared a general emergency after a passenger went into life‑threatening distress and required CPR at 38,000 feet, prompting the captain to set the transponder to squawk 7700 and request an immediate landing in Amsterdam.
Air traffic control cleared a direct path to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the aircraft descended rapidly and landed safely on Runway 06 twenty‑two minutes after the distress call, then taxied to Gate D60 where local medical teams took over emergency care.
