Two nurses from Kerala, travelling to Abu Dhabi from Kochi on their first international flight, saved the life of a fellow passenger after he suffered a cardiac arrest twenty minutes into the journey, local media reported.

Abhijith Jees, 26, from Wayanad, and Ajeesh Nelson, 29, from Chengannur, on the way to join their new job in the UAE on Air Arabia flight 3L128, noticed a man, also from Kerala, gasping for air, Gulf News reported on Wednesday.

The duo quickly rushed to his aid and performed two rounds of CPR, stabilising the passenger until he regained a pulse and began breathing again, the report added.
