Amharc ar fhreagraAll chartered flights operated by Ireland and other EU countries through Frontex (European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union) have medical personnel on board. These medical personnel will treat any passenger or crew member who has taken ill or been injured during the flight. Any medical issues arising after the passengers have disembarked from the plane are a matter for the Nigerian authorities in the case of Nigerian nationals.
