An 80-year-old man died of a heart attack at Mumbai airport.

An 80-year-old man died of a heart attack at Mumbai airport after walking over 1.5 km due to a lack of available wheelchairs. The man and his wife had arranged for wheelchair assistance upon arriving from New York on an Air India flight. However, due to a shortage of wheelchairs and staff, only one assistant was available, which was used by the wife. The man opted to walk beside her, but suffered a heart attack and collapsed. Air India expressed condolences and claimed that the passenger had been advised to wait for wheelchair assistance, but chose to walk with his spouse. The airline stated they are in constant contact with the bereaved family, providing necessary support.
