British Airways flight BA2702 from London Heathrow that was heading to Tenerife South airport this Saturday 15 January afternoon has reported a serious medical problem with an elderly passenger.
The pilots of the Airbus A321neo registered G-NEOR requested a priority approach and landing permission.
From the control tower, the route was prioritised, shortening the manoeuvre as much as possible while medical care was coordinated on the ground.
