A crew member onboard a passenger plane has been hospitalized after a foul odor filled the cabin. British Airways Flight BA2204 landed at London Gatwick on Wednesday after more than seven hours in the air. After takeoff from Punta Cana, passengers noticed an “unusual odor,” and crew members began to feel sick, experiencing nausea from the smell originating from the rear of the Boeing 777-200. The 27-year-old jet was inspected after landing, but at the time of writing, the airline has not provided an explanation. Speaking to the newspaper, a passenger onboard said, “Various people reported feeling ill, but one stewardess was so badly hit that she needed a hospital check-up on arrival at Gatwick. There were fears that the stewardess was ill due to carbon monoxide poisoning. It was a real worry.” A British Airways spokesman said: “A crew member on Flight BA2204 was taken to hospital as a precaution after becoming unwell on board. The health and well-being of our customers and crew is our top priority and we are looking into what happened.” Other members of the crew recovered without going to the hospital.
