阿聯酋航空一架從杜拜起飛的E203航班驚傳集體感染!外媒報導,美國當地時間5日上午8時50分該班機抵達紐約,一度傳出約有百名乘客感到嚴重身體不適,伴隨咳嗽、發燒症狀,疑似集體感染疾病,阿聯酋航空隨後在推特澄清,生病乘客人數爲10人。
Statement: Emirates can confirm that about 10 passengers on #EK203 from Dubai to New York were taken ill. On arrival, as a precaution, they were attended to by local health authorities. All others will disembark shortly. The safety & care of our customers is our first priority.
該航班爲A380客機,機上載有約500名乘客,已經降落甘迺迪機場、停靠4號航站緊急隔離。現場約有7輛救護車在跑道上等待救援,美國疾管局將對乘客及飛機進行檢查。目前乘客不適原因尚不明,初步判斷可能與飛機上的食物有關。

阿聯酋稍早發佈聲明指出,只有10名乘客生病,且已經立即遭當地衛生部門送醫檢查,其他乘客預計很快就會下機;公司總部並向美國官員表示,懷疑此事件是食物中毒引起。據當地媒體報導,至少有3名乘客被送往醫院。
紐約反恐警方表示,正在監視機場的醫療情況。市長辦公室並透過推特證實,有一架客機因乘客生病降落在甘迺迪機場,已經隔離,而麥加附近正經歷流感爆發「是一種可能性」。
