Video: Iberia Airlines Flight Diverts To Bermuda
At approximately 3.45pm today [Mar.15] a Guatemalan-bound Iberia Airlines flight diverted to Bermuda after a passenger required medical care.
Ambulance and Bermuda Fire Service personnel met the arriving airline, and the passenger was taken off the plane in a wheelchair, escorted into a waiting ambulance and transported to King Edward Memorial Hospital for treatment.
The aircraft was en route from Barajas International Airport in Spain to La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City. The aircraft took on fuel in Bermuda, and departed at approximately 5.30pm.
somehow the PLP is the cause of this……
I was gôing by the airport, witnessed the landing of the airplane and gathering of all the emergency vehicles and personel. I’m impressed with the coordination and efficiency of all involved. Hats off to all these fine workers!
i was on that plane have you a video of that day?……. i was going to el salvador and the sick passangers a man around 60 years was really bad…..
You know, I’m not a firm supporter of the PLP but this comment made by altered beast is uncalled for and very childish. The gentleman on that flight fell ill and that’s it. No PLP or UBP even OBA should be mentioned
Grow up and act your age
Best wishes for the man in hospital. Actually it’s the fault of the poor, pitiful republican party across the pond, methinks.
What happens in this case, does the passenger get his luggage off the plane now, and how does he get to Guatamala in the process if he is released tonight forsay. Thanks Bernews can you answer that?
his probably gon stay up clearview with the ughiers ! however you spell it! he will have a apt n a big bank account n a job here by Saturday.
You people are so heartless. I am so happy the pilot was allowed to land without being forced to say “Good Evening.” Whatever this person’s illness is I hope for a speedy recovery.
I wish the passenger a speedy recovery.
That said, can someone tell me why Bermuda is such a limited gateway when it comes to certain airlines flying here?
the landing was really hard… i was on that plane ican’t believe that was happened
I wish the passenger a speedy recovery and trust KEMH are taking good care of him. Perhaps the gentleman might even get to enjoy a bit of a Bermuda vacation.
In the meantime, that was a very big looking plane so I hope Mr. Furbert is not planning and stuffing the arrivals figures with all those folks on board…
The PLP are not be to blame for it but I bet they use the number of passengers to boost their tourism numbers.
It is amazing how many flights fly over or near Bermuda to go to other destinations.
What is so amazing about it? Bermuda happens to be on the great circle route, shortest distance, from a number of European cities to points south of here.
Nothing amazing about it at all.
