The captain reported a full emergency when four staff complained of a strange smell in the cabin. There were suggestions from the fire brigade that the British Airways Boeing 777 was carrying hazardous substances, but this could not be confirmed. The emergency was declared about 1pm, less than an hour after the plane took off from London's Gatwick Airport bound for Houston, Texas. Doctors checked out the crew, who were suffering from sore throats, and they did not need hospital treatment. Passengers were, however, expected to face long delays as technical experts checked out the plane and interviewed crew.

On the 27th June a British Airways 747 en-route SFO from LHR diverted into GLA due a medical emergency, the a/c departed direct to San Francisco about 3 hours later...

IDIOT!.......... Read the newsgroup title...... What's wrong with you guys.... Evidence that you in particular are geographically challenged? Howabout a mini-cab advert? We haven't had one of those for while.? I know who the idiot is, you're not long after posting an 'anyone help' plea about PIK, or Glasgow Prestwick International as they like to be known..

IDIOT!.......... Read the newsgroup title...... What's wrong with you guys.... General aviation interest again, surely? Like your own post concerning Virgin Atlantic's proposed Sydney service and Richard Branson's penchant for stewardess uniforms! An article concerning an emergency landing can hardly be interpreted as promotion of an airport ... can it?! It was Scottish general aviation interest to the majority on here I would reckon Callum, Blimps Back to top fox1 Guest Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2003 6:40 am    Post subject: Re: Glasgow on alert as fumes jet lands On Tue, 29 Jul 2003 20:36:40 +0100, "Callum Johnstone" <callumjohnstone (AT) blueyonder (DOT) co.uk> wrote: Quote: An article concerning an emergency landing can hardly be interpreted as promotion of an airport ... can it?!
