The crew sought permission for emergency landing to seek immediate medical treatment following which the plane landed in the city of Rostov-on-Don. According to reports in Mirror.co.uk, the 49-year-old pilot was flying Airbus 320, which seats 150 passengers, at 33,000 ft when he became ill. He was given medical help at Platov International Airport in Rostov-on-Don, but was was pronounced dead.
