FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Officials say a plane heading toward Barbados has returned to a Florida airport because three flight attendants were sick.
The Sun Sentinel reports the Jet Blue plane returned to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Thursday afternoon. Officials say the aircraft was evacuated and paramedics were called.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue spokesman Mike Jachles says three flight attendants were complaining of headaches and one of the attendants used on-flight oxygen. The attendants were evaluated and declined medical treatment. There were no complaints from the nearly 100 passengers on board.
Officials say a hazmat team took readings on the plane and didn’t detect anything.
Jet Blue said in a statement that a new crew was being assigned to the flight to continue to Barbados Thursday evening.
The incident is under investigation.
