Ambulances were called to a UK airport after a “sickness bug” struck passengers on board a flight.
Six ambulance teams were called to Leeds Bradford Airport after four passengers fell ill on the flight from Reus Airport near in Spain.
A police officer who attended the scene said it was a sickness bug.
However, none of the passengers were required to attend hospital.
Airline Jet2 won praise for the way it dealt with the emergency, which happened at about 9.45pm on Saturday.
One passenger posted on its Facebook page on Sunday: “Just want to praise the cabin crew for how well they dealt with the incidents on board.
“Everything going on around them, and still smiling and staying calm right to the end of the flight.
“Thank you for keeping us all safe, you did a fantastic job.”
A Jet2 spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that the crew on board flight LS298 from Reus to Leeds Bradford Airport arranged an ambulance for two passengers who were taken ill.
“The crew were alerted to a further two, non-associated cases of passengers feeling unwell on board.
“On arrival, as a precaution they were immediately checked over in the ambulance before heading home.
“All other passengers disembarked as normal and continued their journeys. The safety and care of our customers is always our first priority.”
