A 76-year-old passenger aboard a Go Air flight suffered a heart attack shortly after takeoff from Delhi airport.
The passenger, Mr Dilip Ghosh accompanied by his wife and daughter, was on the flight back from Delhi after his cardiac surgery, which was not intimated to the airline.

Shortly after the flight took off, Mr Ghosh went breathless. A broadcast over the PA system was made requesting for medical assistance on board and simultaneously Mumbai airport was informed for medical emergency. A fellow passenger, reportedly a doctor, took care of him during the flight.u00a0
