EasyJet Co-Pilot Faints Mid-Flight, Lands Safely

An EasyJet co-pilot fainted mid-flight on a journey from London Luton to Lisbon, leading to a safe emergency landing and the co-pilot being taken to Lisbon's Santa Maria Hospital. The flight, carrying 193 passengers, triggered a 'red alert' and landed without further incident, with passengers disembarking normally. This incident follows another emergency landing involving EasyJet due to a bird strike shortly after take-off from Faro. Both instances highlight recent health-related emergencies among airline staff, raising concerns about pilot fatigue. Similar incidents have occurred with other airlines, such as Ryanair, where pilots have fallen ill mid-flight. EasyJet has stated that the safety and welfare of passengers and crew remain their highest priority.
