An Alaska Airlines flight from Hawaii to Seattle was forced to turn back after four flight attendants felt unwell and reported an "unidentifiable odor" in the cabin.
Flight AS810 took off from Lihue, Kauai, on Thursday evening, but the Boeing 737-890 soon diverted to Honolulu "out of an abundance of caution" after the crew reported an unknown odor, an Alaska Airlines spokesperson said in a statement to Business Insider.
"After the aircraft safely landed, all four flight attendants were transported to the hospital for evaluation. None of the pilots and guests on board required medical attention," they said.
The Honolulu Emergency Services Department said that the flight attendants had shown symptoms of "nausea and disturbed coordination" from the smell, per local outlet KHNL.
The carrier said it had worked to get the 119 passengers on other flights to Seattle, adding that the aircraft had been taken out of service and was being "thoroughly inspected" by its maintenance technicians.
It's not the first time such an incident has occurred on an Alaska Airlines flight.
