A witness on board said there were very dramatic scenes as crew members and some passengers tried to save the life of the woman behind curtains just a few metres away from the kitchen gallery. <\/p>\n
The plane landed at Adelaide airport at about 4.30am.<\/p>\n
“Our crew did everything they could, including helping perform CPR with a doctor who was on board, but unfortunately the passenger has passed away,\u201d the spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n
“Our thoughts are with the passenger’s family.” The flight has landed in Sydney about two hours behind schedule. <\/p>\n
