Six flight attendants on an American Airlines flight from Rome to Philadelphia felt unwell on Saturday, July 25, during a transatlantic crossing. The pilots decided to divert the aircraft to Ireland, landing in Dublin. The airline is expected to inspect the air conditioning systems that supply air to the cabin to determine the cause of the collective illness. According to the newspaper La Repubblica, a similar episode occurred in 2019, when the cause was attributed to a cleaning detergent used on the aircraft.
