easyJet Passengers treated for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning (20 July 2015)
Date: 20/07/2015
An easyJet Airbus A320 flying from Manchester to Tel Aviv in Israel was forced to make an emergency landing after a suspected carbon monoxide leak in the cabin.
The Daily Mail reports that four passengers were taken to hospital after the plane landed in Berlin.
The plane’s pilot radioed air traffic control and raised the alarm after three crew members reported feeling nauseous. All 175 passengers and six crew members were assessed by paramedics at Berlin's Schonefeld Airport.
Four passengers taken to hospital were later discharged and continued their journey.
A spokesman for the airport said:
“The Airbus A320 was en route from Manchester to Tel Aviv with 175 passengers and six members of crew on board. A suspicion of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning was not confirmed.
“The Airport Fire Brigade was unable to establish any increased CO values in measurements inside or outside the aircraft – 20 or more passengers were under medical supervision at the airport.
“All passengers at Schonefeld Airport were examined by medical personnel.
“The suspicion of carbon monoxide poisoning could not be confirmed here, either.
“The reason for passengers feeling ill on the flight from Manchester to Tel Aviv remains unclear.”
The alert is reported to have been caused by a mid-air carbon monoxide scare, however, but tests failed to establish any increased levels either inside the cabin or outside the plane.
Passengers used social media to describe what was happening on board the flight – and the incident is being investigated by the Federal Flight Accident Investigation Authority.
A spokesman for easyJet said:
“Paramedics who met the aircraft on arrival into Berlin took the decision, as a precaution only, to administer medical checks to everyone on-board. Four passengers received medical checks at the hospital and subsequently returned to the airport.
“As a result of the delay, the crew were unable to continue the flight as it would exceed their legal operating hours.
“easyJet therefore arranged for a replacement crew and passengers continued their journey to Tel Aviv on another easyJet aircraft.
“All affected passengers were notified of the new departure details and provided with refreshments.
“We would like to thank passengers for their patience and apologise for any inconvenience caused due to the delay. The safety and welfare of our passengers and crew is our highest priority.”
