Female cabin crew member dies after becoming ill on Air Albania flight to Stansted Airport

A 24-year-old Air Albania female cabin crew member is believed to have died after collapsing during a flight to Stansted Airport.

The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust confirmed that two ambulances, a hazardous area response team vehicle, an ambulance officer vehicle and Essex and Herts Air Ambulance responded to reports that the woman became seriously ill on board the service from Albanian capital Tirana.

The Indie was told the aircraft touched down at around 1pm on Wednesday December 21 as scheduled.

The ambulance service took the victim to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, but it is understood that she did not survive.

A spokesman for Essex Police said: "We supported our colleagues at Manchester Airports Group and the ambulance service at Stansted Airport after being called for a concern for welfare."

The Indie has contacted Air Albania for further details but has not received a response.
