Due to a chemical smell that spread in the Jetstar’s Airbus 320, 6 people and a few flight attendants started feeling light-headed and nauseous, which led to the grounding of the plane mid-flight. The plane was bound to Mackay.
Though engineers have been inspecting the plane, no fault has been found so far.
According to the spokesperson from Jetstar, Simon Westaway, the incidence occurred about an hour into flight JQ 882 from Brisbane to Mackay this morning.
Two doctors, who were also flying by the same plane, took good care of the sick as they were heading towards Mackay. Both the fire as well as the ambulance was already waiting for the plane to arrive at the airport. None of the passengers are hospitalized so far.
