A United Airlines flight from Canada to the U.S. was investigated on Friday after dozens of passengers fell ill for an unspecified reason.
United Flight 1528 from Vancouver to Houston, Texas, landed at George Bush Intercontinental Airport on May 31. United Airlines told Fox Business that the flight was carrying 163 passengers and 6 crew members.
The Houston Fire Department reported that around 25 of the flight’s passengers reported feeling sick, according to USA Today. Authorities evaluated some of the passengers with the most severe symptoms at the airport, but none were taken to the hospital.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told Fox Business that most of the sick passengers had “GI symptoms.”
