A BRITISH Airways pilot collapsed unconscious in the cockpit minutes after landing a packed jumbo jet.
The captain, in his 50s, suffered a suspected ruptured ulcer after his Boeing 747 from New York touched down at Heathrow with 300 passengers on board.
An air hostess, who had trained as a nurse, went to his aid before an ambulance crew took him to hospital.
A source said of Thursday’s incident: “He collapsed with blood coming out of his mouth and was unconscious. He came round as the paramedics arrived and was very apologetic about it all.”
A BA spokesman said: “The flight landed absolutely safely. It was on landing that this happened.”
