AA Boeing 787 Diverts to Dublin After Crew Sickness
An American Airlines Boeing 787-9 traveling from Rome to Philadelphia diverted to Dublin on Saturday when six flight attendants simultaneously reported dizziness and general illness. The aircraft was over the Atlantic Ocean roughly three hours into the flight before pilots initiated the diversion due to the medical emergency. With no replacement crew available in Ireland, the transatlantic leg was canceled. For flight crews, this incident highlights the subtle onset of environmental anomalies in flight and the importance of monitoring physiological symptoms among active crew members.
