Travis Head and pregnant partner Jessica Davies involved in midair plane emergency while on Maldives holiday

Australian cricketer Travis Head and his pregnant partner, Jessica Davies, have detailed a harrowing experience after the plane they were on was forced to make an emergency landing. The couple were returning from a holiday in the Maldives when their plane started descending, about 30 minutes into their one hour flight. Davies shared the “terrifying” experience on Instagram. “We ended up landing on an island 45 minutes away from our destination,” she shared on social media. “After our second landing attempt, we slid off the tarmac into a field.” She added: “It was like watching a movie, the people panic and then some passengers got aggressive towards staff because they locked us in a room with no water or phone signal for 45 minutes,” Davies wrote on Instagram. Davies detailed how passengers were locked in a room without water or any means of communication for 45 minutes after the landing. After a four hour wait a second plane arrived. Davies said the couple are “totally fine” following the incident. In March the couple revealed they were expecting their first child. Head was named player of the series during Australia’s 4-0 Ashes win against England. He also clocked up 190 runs in Australia’s first two ODIs against Pakistan.
