An AirEuropa flight from Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion International Airport to Spain on Monday came to a sudden halt as it was preparing to takeoff, taxing down the runway, when the co-pilot passed out in her seat. She was scheduled to fly this particular flight.

The airline has two flights daily from Madrid to Tel Aviv and back. The flight was scheduled to take off at 4:05PM, a Dreamliner, but due to the incident, the flight taxied back, and the flight was canceled.

The flight left Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning at 6:00AM.
