A passenger on Wednesday slumped at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, aboard an Air Peace flight 4P7140 from Lagos
Sources at the airport said that the incident happened as passengers were disembarking from the aircraft.
They also said that it took the emergency response team of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN up to 30 minutes to show up at the scene with an ambulance.
It was however learnt that the crew of Air Peace were able to administer oxygen and stabilize the patient before the arrival of the airport's health officials.
“The crew was able to get oxygen to revive the passenger and he was a bit stable before he was transferred to the Port Health officials of FAAN, who delayed for about 30 minutes; but the good news is that the man is okay,” an eyewitness said.
The Deputy General Manager, Public Affairs, FAAN Abuja, Mrs. Henriatta Yakubu, however dismissed claims of late response by Port Health Officials. She said that they rushed to the scene as soon as they received a distress call from the crew of Air Peace.
The patient was reportedly discharged from the FAAN clinic around 6pm on Wednesday.
