On June 9, a Qantas Airbus A380 operating flight QF2 from London Heathrow to Singapore made an unscheduled landing at Baku's Heydar Aliyev International Airport due to a medical emergency on board. The decision was made after a passenger's health worsened during the flight. Medical teams were ready upon arrival in Azerbaijan.
The passenger, who required immediate medical attention, was taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment. Meanwhile, the aircraft remained grounded in Baku. Qantas arranged accommodation and visa assistance for passengers affected by the delay, with plans to continue the journey to Singapore scheduled for Tuesday morning.
Flight QF2 typically operates between London Heathrow and Singapore before continuing to Sydney. Data from Flightradar24 shows that the flight departed Heathrow at 21:12 local time on June 8 and diverted approximately eight hours into its journey while flying over Turkmenistan.
