7 including crew on Air India flight fell sick

At least two crew members and five passengers reported feeling dizzy and nauseous during different phases of the Mumbai-bound Air India flight AI-130 from London, the airline’s spokesperson said.

Despite the health scare, the Boeing 777 plane continued its journey and landed safely in Mumbai, where medical teams were already present.

"After landing, two passengers and two cabin crew, who continued to feel unwell, were taken to the medical room for further examination and were later discharged. We are investigating the incident and have duly notified the regulator, the Air India spokesperson further stated.

There is no official confirmation of the cause yet. However, according to one media report, multiple passengers felt nauseous and dizzy due to lack of oxygen, caused by decompression or a gradual decrease in cabin pressure.

Another report, citing a senior airline official, claimed food poisoning to be a possible cause behind the incidents. However, the official also highlighted that the pilots, who are served the same food after passengers, didn't report any uneasiness.
