12 American Airlines passengers with 'flu-like symptoms' briefly held in Philadelphia
Passengers and crew on 2 American Airlines flights arriving from Europe were held away from other travellers upon arrival in Philadelphia Thursday after several showed signs of "flu-like symptoms," federal officials said. Customs and Border Protection said 12 passengers on 2 flights, Flight 755 from Paris and Flight 717 from Munich, showed signs of illness. All 12 have been released after they were reviewed by federal and Philadelphia health officials, CBP said. The agency said the measure, which is unusual, was taken out of "an abundance of caution" a day after authorities briefly quarantined an Emirates Airline plane upon landing in New York from Dubai. Its crew reported passengers had similar symptoms. CBP said the American Airlines flights were not quarantined. <br/>
