After take-off from Birmingham (UK), the co-pilot was unwell. The pilot took over the additional duties of the assistant pilot (PNF) so that he could relax. As the co-pilot was feeling better afterwards, the flight to Frankfurt/Main was continued. When his health deteriorated again over Belgium, but the co-pilot believed he could hold out until the destination airport, the pilot declared an air emergency. During the direct approach to Frankfurt, a flight attendant in the cockpit took care of the co-pilot, who was taken over by the waiting emergency team after reaching the parking position and taken to hospital.
