The passenger of Boeing-757 of British airline Jet2, which was flying from Manchester to Funchal-the main city of the Portuguese Madeira Island helped the co-pilot to land the airliner after the first pilot felt bad.

According to the Daily Mail, the incident occurred in the morning halfway to the destination. Flight attendants announced that there was an incident in the cockpit, after which another Jet2 pilot, who was flying on vacation, went into the cockpit. According to eyewitnesses, he went out of the cockpit only after landing, and the pilot, who initially controlled the aircraft, was in a wheelchair with an oxygen mask on his face.

They later announced that the plane would land at the nearest airport.
