The Abu Dhabi-based long-haul carrier Etihad says a pilot has died on one of its cargo flights.
Etihad said in a statement on Wednesday that the pilot onboard Flight No. EY927 flying from Abu Dhabi to Amsterdam "became incapacitated" during the flight.
Etihad says the plane's first officer issued a distress call and safely diverted the plane to Kuwait. However, the pilot died while receiving medical care on the ground.
