The 57-year-old mother of three was reportedly feeling unwell at the boarding gate, but her condition worsened once on the plane.
Despite the efforts of paramedics, Cario unfortunately died within minutes of boarding the aircraft.
The plane was forced to disembark all passengers, and the cause of death is currently being investigated.
