Flight quarantined at Glasgow Airport
01.03.09
A busy holiday flight was quarantined on the runway at Glasgow Airport yesterday after three passengers took ill, the Sunday Mail reports. Around 150 holidaymakers had flown from Barbados after a two-week P&O Caribbean cruise. They were ordered to stay on board the Thomas Cook jet when it landed at 09:00 after a female passenger was violently sick.
Doctors diagnosed three passengers with norovirus - also known as the winter vomiting bug - which causes severe sickness and diarrhoea. They were allowed to go home after receiving treatment. An airport spokeswoman told the newspaper: ‘The outbreak seems confined to the flight to Glasgow. ‘Passengers returning from the cruise to London and Manchester were unaffected.’
