A Lufthansa flight that took off from Frankfurt, Germany to Bangalore, India made an emergency landing in Istanbul, Turkey due to an on-board medical emergency.

As per the reports, it is learnt that the flight will be taking off shortly after the completion of some technical processes.

However, passengers on the flight have complained of the delay and poor efforts from the crew for their support.

"The flight was supposed to take off at 8pm (25 hours after it landed unscheduled at Istanbul). Its 7:35pm now, and there is still no sign of the crew," passengers said. Grammy winner - Ricky Kej, was also on the flight and has raised the complaint on Twitter.

Lufthansa's India-bound flight (LH 754) took off from Frankfurt, Germany on Tuesday at 1:05 PM for Bangalore with an estimated arrival time of 1:25 AM, Wednesday.

However, the aircraft registered a medical emergency, while it was over the Black Sea in Turkey's airspace. Resultantly, the aeroplane made an emergency landing in Istanbul at 2 PM.

The exercise caused a delay of roughly 24 hours, and therefore, passengers are now expected to reach their destination - Bangalore, India, on Thursday morning.

Passengers have also registered criticism for carelessness and failing to address their concerns.

The airline, on the other hand, has confirmed the emergency landing.
