Passengers become ill on Emirates flight from Dubai to JFK

At least 10 people were taken ill on an Emirates flight from Dubai to New York and hospitalised after the double-decker jet landed at John F. Kennedy International.. The incident unfolded after passengers and crew members among the 521 aboard the A380 superjumbo complained of symptoms including fever and a cough, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, which initially estimated 100 were sick. A spokesman for New York mayor Bill de Blasio, later said on Twitter that a total 19 people were reported ill, with 10 taken to the hospital. The Port Authority isolated the plane after it touched down at 9:12 am local time. As of about 11:50 am, 432 people had been let off the jet to continue their journeys, <br/>
