|
| A WOMAN who has battled to ensure all commercial flights carry life-saving equipment after her husband died on an easyJet flight looks to have finally got her wish. |
|
| Mary Tingle, of Bennett Avenue, Elmswell, began her campaign earlier this year after 61-year-old Peter suffered a fatal heart attack while returning from Athens in March. |
|
| Mrs Tingle met with easyJet bosses last week to discuss the possibility of getting more medical equipment on to all their flights. |
|
| Mrs Tingle said: "They said they would be looking seriously at the recommendations. I am just glad I've been able to do something. |
|
| "I know it's not going to change things for me, but if it saves the lives of other people then it will have been worth it." |
|
| David Ruffley MP took up the campaign for extra medical equip-ment on flights after Mr Tingle died. |
|
|
Mr Ruffley said he had received a firm assurance from the Department for Transport that plans were being put into place to ensure all commercial aircraft carry additional emergency medical equipment.
