Virgin Atlantic passengers were left at a remote airfield without food for ‘more than 24 hours’ after a woman became unwell.

An emergency landing was made Wednesday afternoon on Virgin Flight VS358, which had left London Heathrow for Mumbai hours earlier.

One passenger told The Sun: ‘It was scary onboard. The situation became so scary for other passengers that the decision was taken by the captain to divert the aircraft, so the woman could receive medical help.
