Passengers on a British Airways flight from London were kept on the aircraft for over two hours after a young African girl complained of feeling unwell on the flight.
Medics in chemical suits boarded the plane while anxious passengers watched on in horror.
Passengers on a British Airways flight from London were kept on the aircraft for over two hours after a 10-year-old girl, believed to be of Nigerian descent, was “violently sick” onboard the BA1314 service.
Environmental Health and trained infectious diseases medics immediately quarantined the aircraft until the sick passenger could be safely removed. It’s understood the girl travelled from infected regions in Africa.
One man, whose pregnant daughter was on the flight, said: “We tried to get information but nobody was returning our calls.
“The passengers weren’t being told anything other than the girl was sick and quarantine measures were put in place.”
It is understood the woman has now been transferred to the infectious diseases unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where further tests will be carried out.
