A British plane had made an emergency landing at the Sofia International Airport late Monday evening, after a passenger felt ill.

Despite the swift reaction of the crew and a doctor, who had been on board, the woman had died, the largest private Bulgarian TV channel bTV reported Tuesday.

According to unofficial information, the woman, 79, suffered a heart attack. She is a British citizen and was on a flight from Manchester, going on vacation to the Turkish "Bodrum" resort.

The airport management has declined comments Monday night with the promise to issue official information later Tuesday.

Unconfirmed reports say that doctors from the Sofia airport emergency room attempted to resuscitate the woman in the course of 40 minutes, but failed. The ambulance arrived when the woman was already dead.
