ISLAMABAD, March 13 (Xinhua) -- A flight of India's private airline IndiGo made an emergency landing at the airport in Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi on Monday, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Pakistan said.
The CAA said in a statement that the landing was carried out at the Jinnah International Airport after midnight due to a medical emergency when a 60-year-old Nigerian passenger on board had lost his breath and pulse.
The pilot requested to turn the flight to Karachi for the treatment of the sick passenger, said the statement, adding that the flight was going from India's Delhi to Qatar's Doha.
However, the sick passenger's life was not saved, according to the statement.
