Seven flight attendants were evaluated by medical personnel after a strange odor was reported on board a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu on Thursday.
In a statement released to KHON-TV, Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian’s parent company, said the flight arrived at Honolulu safely and “without incident.” The flight attendants were checked by medical staff at the gate and then released, the airline said.
No passengers required medical attention.
The flight was identified as Alaska Airlines Flight 803, operating under the Hawaiian brand. There were 252 passengers on board, and nine crew members. The aircraft involved is an Airbus A330-200.
According to KHON, Honolulu Emergency Medical Services and American Medical Response staff evaluated the flight attendants at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport’s Terminal 1. The flight attendants complained of nausea and headaches but ultimately declined transportation to an area hospital.
Alaska said it will thoroughly inspect the aircraft before it is returned to service.
“Safety is our priority and we thank the medical professionals for their response,” the airline said.
