Emergency landing in Malaga airport after British child falls ill

A flight from Glasgow bound for Malaga had to cut its approach this week and make a rapid descent to the Costa del Sol airport when a four-year-old child became seriously ill on board. A doctor also on the flight attended to the little boy, who is believed to have suffered a possible epileptic seizure.

The pilot radioed the control tower requesting urgent landing and the runway was quickly cleared. Medical personnel were waiting to look after the young patient as soon as the plane touched down.

"The little one was fine. It was just a scare. We were all prepared to disembark as soon as possible. A great team effort from everyone (land, tower and air)," air traffic controllers reported on their official Twitter feed.
