An aircraft diverted to Sofia airport after a passenger experienced a medical emergency during flight. The Ministry of Transport confirmed the unscheduled landing at Vasil Levski airport through a statement to bTV news. Medical crews responded to assist a diabetic traveler who required immediate ground-based treatment. The passenger needed specialized care that could not be provided aboard the aircraft. Emergency protocols guided the pilot's decision to land at the Bulgarian capital's main airport.

The flight originated from Amsterdam and was bound for Rhodes, a popular Greek island destination. Airport officials coordinated the emergency response as the aircraft approached Sofia. Medical personnel waited on the tarmac to provide assistance to the affected passenger. The diversion demonstrates standard aviation safety procedures for handling health emergencies at cruising altitude. Airlines routinely train crews to manage such situations and identify suitable airports for emergency landings.
