No but I have flown Lion Air's (one of the most unsafe airlines) subsidiary new start up airline CityLink

Sure about that one?

Also, the simplistic characterisation of an airfare price differential as a safety issue is likely quite naive. But this thread is not about price differentials.

OK you're supporting the possibility of airline having good infrastructure (the alternative being airline without the possibility of having good infrastructure). At the very least we're heading towards the right direction.

Sounds like it

CNA reporting 73 year old British male was one of the deceased. Given reports of a defib being used, possible it may be the stress of event caused cardiac etc.

FYI....the "Ignore" function is a very handy tool.

Can you provide me with a quick lesson on where to find the ignore function?

Nope....We were headed in the wrong direction the moment you brought up a matter that was completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

Bye bye

Not necessarily. I Won't speculate but I can think of a couple.

There was also an EK flight which got into similar trouble a few years ago.

Edit: EK449 July 2019 and Here

Not necessarily possible?

Not necessarily primarily cardiac. But I'll keep silent on this for now - I'll let the investigation do their bit.

Mr Kittipong confirmed during the press conference that a 73-year-old British passenger was killed on flight SQ321. The plane had to make an emergency landing in the Thai capital due to severe air turbulence. He likely died of a heart attack, the airport chief said.

Hmm a bit premature. I'm quite sure the BKK airport chief has not conducted a post mortem examination and has not issued a death certificate indicating a cause of death.
