Emergency landing due to cardiac arrest: What the incident in Menorca reveals about our rescue chain

Answer

Are defibrillators available on flights to Mallorca?

On many flights, an automated external defibrillator may be carried for emergencies, but availability can vary by aircraft and operator. In a cardiac arrest, every minute matters, so onboard equipment and people with medical training can be decisive before the plane lands in Mallorca or another nearby airport. Travellers with health concerns should not assume every flight has the same level of medical support.
