A passenger on board an easyJet flight to holiday island Lanzarote died mid-flight on Tuesday after crew members did everything they could to help the traveller.
The tragedy unfolded as flight EJU6775, which had departed Nantes Loire Atlantique airport in France, began its descent on the Spanish island.
The airline told French outlet Le Parisien that its crew members did everything they could to save the passenger, who has not been named.
The captain triggered a distress signal before 'performing a routine landing in accordance with standard procedures'.
'Our crews are trained to respond to medical procedures and did everything possible during the flight', the airline said.
