The pilot, identified by sources as Captain Armaan, was in his late 30s and had just operated the flight to Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in Delhi. Shortly after landing, he began to feel unwell and vomited inside the aircraft, according to reports from multiple sources cited by The Hindu.
Captain Armaan reportedly collapsed at the airline’s dispatch office at the Delhi airport. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital but was declared brought dead upon arrival, sources told PTI.

In a statement, an Air India Express spokesperson expressed deep sorrow over the pilot’s untimely death.
“We deeply regret the loss of a valued colleague due to a medical condition. Our thoughts are with the family during this time of profound grief.”
The airline also urged the public and media to respect the family’s privacy and refrain from speculation. “We are offering full support to the bereaved family while cooperating with the authorities as required,” the spokesperson added.
