After the Airbus A319's pushback had been completed and the ramp agent had given the go-ahead by hand signal to the cockpit crew, the female co-pilot complained of severe abdominal pain and fainted. The pilot in command called the purser into the cockpit via the interphone for assistance. He then decided to taxi back to the parking position and shut down the engines. After opening the aircraft doors, rescue workers attended to the co-pilot.
