The tragedy comes just months after a pilot died after collapsing mid-flight on a 12-hour Turkish Airlines flight from Seattle to Istanbul.
The pilot, identified as Ilcehin Pehlivan, collapsed during the October 2024 flight, forcing the jet to make an emergency landing in New York.
Pehlivan, 59, who had worked for Turkish Airlines since 2007, had passed a medical examination in March and there had been no indication of any health problems.
Medical emergencies are not uncommon on flights, with data showing that in the US alone around 44,000 flights experience some form of medical event each year.
These incidents include minor discomforts to life-threatening situations, according Aviation Services' March 2024 report.
The most common medical situations to occur during flight include fainting, gastrointestinal issues, respiratory problems and neurological issues.
Seizures and cardiac issues, such as a heart attack, are also common.
