The captain of the GB Airways Airbus A320, which had 156 passengers on board, landed at Istanbul airport after he was forced to divert due to a "medical emergency".

The flight left Manchester at 2:20 p.m. on Sunday for Paphos in western Cyprus.

"GB Airways confirms that yesterday's flight BA 6826 from Manchester to Paphos diverted to Istanbul due to a medical emergency on the flight deck," the airline said in a statement.

"On landing, it was confirmed that the first officer (co-pilot) had died during the flight. At no time was the aircraft, passengers or crew in any danger."

It gave no details of the co-pilot or how he had died but said his next of kin had been informed.
