A Toronto-area woman is questioning why Air Canada didn’t divert a flight after her father began to have severe chest pain, back pain and nausea. Instead, the flight continued for nine hours and the man died after landing. Five doctors say they would have asked that the plane be diverted.
Shanu Pande says Air Canada’s refusal to recognize her father’s symptoms as life-threatening might have cost him his life. Shanu Pande says she had been looking forward to the trip for years — a flight that would bring her father to Canada from India after he finally obtained permanent residency status.
Harish Pant waits with family member Saroj Pande at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport before their flight to Montreal on Sept. 10. Pande says she immediately rushed to get the attention of crew members. When they came back to his seat, Pande says Pant's face had drooped on one side, he had lost control of his bowels and felt extremely weak.
Fitzpatrick says MedAire lets the crew to talk with doctors familiar with the challenges of practising medicine on a plane "to evaluate the passenger and devise a care plan." "I was shocked," said Pande. "I said, 'Why are you not diverting the plane? Do you see his condition?'"WATCH | What happened after the plane landed:Shanu Pande's father died after suffering for hours on a long-haul flight. She describes her interaction with the Air Canada flight crew after the flight landed.Fitzpatrick, the spokesperson, said he was unable to provide that information.
