Dozens of cruise ship passengers who disembarked in the Pacific Northwest flew into Houston Intercontinental Airport with flu-like symptoms — prompting a deep cleaning of the plane, officials said.
Paramedics went to Terminal C at 6:20 p.m. Friday, after dozens of people in a travel group on a flight from Vancouver, British Columbia arrived feeling ill.
As many as 30 people of a travel group of about 75 were sick, many complaining of nausea, according to the Houston Fire Department.
None of the passengers needed to be hospitalized, ABC-13 reported.
The passengers were on United Airlines Flight 1528, and the aircraft was removed from service for a thorough cleaning before flying again, the company said.
According to United, Flight 1528 was a Boeing 737 MAX 8 with 163 passengers and six crew members on board.
