The aircraft, which took off at 9.30 am for Bangalore, returned to the airport after about an hour and made a
"precautionary landing" when the passenger complained of illness and began vomiting.

The passenger was given medical attention after the aircraft landed.

The flight later left for Bangalore, the officials said.
