Indore: An IndiGo flight on its way from Madurai to Delhi was rushed to Indore airport after an elderly passenger became seriously ill on Saturday evening.

After the flight landed at the Devi Ahilyabai Holkar international airport, the 60-year-old passenger was taken to a hospital near the airport where doctors declared him brought dead, an official said.

"As per the initial information, Atul Gupta (60), who was on board the IndiGo Airlines flight 6E-2088, was bleeding from the mouth and his condition deteriorated midway through the journey," Prabodh Chandra Sharma, Director in-charge of the airport, told PTI.
