A Turkish Airlines<\/strong> pilot has died after becoming ill on his own flight from Seattle to Istanbul in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Ilcehin Pehlivan, 59, collapsed mid-air and a second pilot and co-pilot took over the controls, an airline spokesman said on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When first aid to our captain on the plane was unsuccessful, the cockpit crew\u2026 decided to make an emergency landing, but he died before landing,” Yahya Ustun explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airbus A350 plane landed in New York and plans were then made to fly the passengers on to Turkey from there, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight TK204 took off from Seattle shortly after 19:00 on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot appears to have got into trouble over the Canadian territory of Nunavut, before his colleagues took over and headed for John F Kennedy airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pehlivan had flown with Turkish Airlines since 2007 and had been given a regular health check in early March, which found no health problem that might affect his job, the airline said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cause of the pilot’s death has not been released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
