Pretend Pregnant Passenger Sparks Emergency Flight Landing
Police have detained 14 people after a false medical emergency forced a Pegasus Airlines plane to make an emergency landing. Among those held was a woman who claimed her waters had broken—only for officials to confirm she wasn’t actually in labour.
Fugitives Still At Large
The flight was carrying 228 passengers from Casablanca when the drama unfolded on Wednesday morning. Despite the arrests, 14 passengers remain on the run, authorities reveal.
Deportations and Immediate Flight Returns
Of those detained, five were immediately put back on the Pegasus Airlines plane to continue their journey. Meanwhile, eight others face deportation back to Morocco.
