An airline pilot suffered a heart attack as he taxied a plane carrying 128 people to the runway at Glasgow Airport.
The captain of the KLM aircraft became unwell as he was about to depart for Amsterdam on Friday and had to be resuscitated by the crew with the help of a passenger.
Firefighters from Glasgow Airport helped take the Dutch pilot off the plane where he was met by paramedics and rushed to Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank.
The man is now said to be in a stable condition.
The plane’s co-pilot took the aircraft back to the gate.
The flight was due to leave at around 5pm but was cancelled because of the emergency.
Passengers on board had their tickets re-booked.
A spokeswoman for KLM said: "During taxiing to the runway on this KLM flight to Amsterdam the captain became unwell and the staff treated him with the help of a passenger.
"He was taken to hospital where his condition is stable."
A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service said: "We took a call that a man was having a heart attack at Glasgow Airport. We attended the scene and arrived at 5.25pm."
