Ryanair pilot falls ill in flight in Bergamo, flurry of delays: problems also in Cagliari

Emergency this evening at Orio al Serio airport, in Bergamo: the pilot of a Ryanair flight arriving from Dublin felt ill during the trip and was treated as soon as he landed at the Lombardy airport.

The plane got stuck in the middle of the runway and all departing and arriving flights were diverted. There was heavy traffic disruption throughout northern Italy and the consequences were also felt on connections to Sardinia.

In Cagliari, a take-off operated by the Irish company was scheduled for Bergamo: scheduled for 22:45, it was postponed to 1. While the connection expected at Mario Mameli from Orio al Serio at 22:10 should not land before half past midnight.
