Approximately three minutes after take-off from Dublin Airport (DUB/EIDW), Ireland, an Embraer ERJ 170-200STD (Embraer 175STD) on scheduled passenger flight KLM934 to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS/EHAM), The Netherlands, the first officer, who was the pilot flying, became incapacitated. The aircraft commander took over all flying duties and requested assistance for the first officer from the cabin attendants. He also transmitted a MAYDAY (state of emergency) to Dublin Air Traffic Control and requested clearance for the aircraft to return to EIDW, where a normal landing at runway 10R was performed. Medical assistance was provided to the First Officer on arrival.
The waiting ambulance crew examined the FO, and the assessment of the cause of the incapacitation was that the FO had low blood pressure, a possible lack of water and food, in combination with a rising cabin altitude after departure.
Note: official model designation is Embraer ERJ 170-200 STD and Embraer 175STD is a marketing designation.
