Air Hostess Reveals Shocking Truth: What Happens When a Passenger Dies Mid-Flight?

  • Former flight attendant Barbara Bacilieri exposes the secret protocols airlines follow when a passenger dies during a flight.
  • Airlines have a special protocol for in-flight deaths, which are not common but do occur, kept hidden from other passengers.
  • Crew checks vital signs, administers CPR, informs the captain, and seeks a doctor among passengers; no one is officially declared dead until landing.
  • If a death occurs, options include emergency landing or continuing to the destination; bodies are moved to empty seats or, in extreme cases, the galley.
  • Barbara recounted an incident where a deceased passenger was made to appear sleeping with a mask and blanket to avoid panic.

Why It Matters: Airlines have secret protocols for in-flight deaths, prioritizing dignity and preventing passenger panic.
