Must read

Four Jetstar Cabin crew members have been taken to hospital after reports of an “unusual smell” on a flight from the Gold Coast to Cairns.

The plane had landed in Cairns and passengers had disembarked when a crew member began to feel faint at about 9.30am.

A second crew member supported her so she wouldn’t fall, the airline said.

Staff also reported an “unusual smell” coming from the cabin prior to the incident.

”Four of our cabin crew reported an unusual smell and started feeling unwell after the flight,” Jetstar said in a statement.

“The four crew members were assessed by paramedics and taken to hospital for observation.

“There were no passenger reports of the smell and the aircraft landed normally in Cairns.

“The aircraft will be thoroughly checked by our engineers.” 

The airline said its pilots did not smell anything from the cockpit.
