BA flight hit by sick crew

A BRITISH Airways flight from San Francisco bound for Heathrow was diverted to Vancouver yesterday after members of the cabin crew fell ill.

Apologising for the delay on Tuesday, the airline said the cabin crew had been checked at local hospitals “as a precaution” before being discharged.

A Vancouver Coastal Health spokesman confirmed 25 people from the flight were taken to area hospitals for assessment and “treated if required”.

Passengers were put up in hotels for the night.
