Woman dies in plane just before take-off

A Kuwaiti woman travelling to London died inside the aircraft just before take-off at Kuwait’s international airport, a newspaper reported on Friday.

Airport medics who rushed to the Kuwait Airways flight on Thursday failed to save the woman, who died minutes after having a heart attack, Al Watan said.

“The woman was taken to the forensic section and the aircraft took off later,” the paper said without specifying the woman’s age.
