A 10-year-old girl has died after a transatlantic jet flying to Heathrow was diverted to Shannon Airport in Ireland on Christmas Eve.
The unnamed tragic youngster was on board Air Canada Flight AC-868 travelling from Toronto to London when she was taken ill.
There is no information on the nationality of the child.
The Irish Mirror reports that the Boeing
787-800 jet was west of Mayo when the crew advised air traffic controllers that they needed to divert and land as soon as possible.
The crew opted to route to Shannon requesting that emergency medical services be standing by for their arrival.
The pilot reported they had a child in cardiac arrest on board.
