A 78-year-old male passenger who experienced a medical emergency during a flight stop at Viracopos International Airport in Campinas, Brazil, has emerged from a coma, as reported by his daughter-in-law. The man suffered a pulmonary embolism, but his condition has improved, although he continues to receive treatment at the Municipal Hospital Dr. Mário Gatti. His family plans to travel to Brazil in the coming days, primarily to manage medical logistics and access security footage from the airport incident.

The family has raised concerns about the level of assistance provided to the elderly passenger, highlighting the fact that he had requested special assistance and used a wheelchair. They believe he should have received priority medical attention during the layover. The daughter-in-law has expressed dissatisfaction regarding the response from airport personnel after the man's distress was first identified, indicating negligence in the follow-up care.

The management of Viracopos Airport has confirmed that their team was involved in addressing the passenger's medical emergency but has not provided detailed responses to the family's allegations. The family's efforts to secure video footage aim to clarify the sequence of events and possibly hold responsible parties accountable for the care provided during the critical situation.
