An 80-year-old man tragically passed away after collapsing due to a heart attack at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Monday. The octogenarian and his wife were traveling on Air India flight AI-116 from New York to Mumbai and had pre-booked wheelchairs for their journey. However, due to a shortage of wheelchairs, the man had to walk about 1.5 kilometers to the immigration counter. On Friday, the airline released a statement confirming the passenger's death.
