A new report has revealed that 25 British Airways employees – three pilots and 22 cabin crew – became “spaced out” and sick onboard a flight in October because toxic fumes required them to utilize emergency oxygen. The crew members received hospital treatment after the plane, en route to London, was diverted to Vancouver. Per the Evening Standard, the report says some of the affected staff have yet to return to work and union Unite is criticizing the airline for “downplaying” the situation.
