Overview
- Crew on flight U23116 from Sharm el‑Sheikh to Glasgow reported at least eight passengers vomiting while the aircraft crossed Dutch airspace on Thursday, October 22.
- Pilots contacted the easyJet Flight Operations Center, briefed Glasgow Airport and arranged ground medical support before the plane landed safely on Runway 23 at about 2:45 a.m. BST.
- An easyJet spokesperson described the event as a small onboard illness that needed no medical assistance on arrival and said some passengers suspected hotel food as the source.
- Crew members cited a suspected norovirus as a possible cause but no laboratory confirmation or public‑health findings have been reported.
- Norovirus spreads quickly in confined spaces and airlines typically notify operations and airport medics when several passengers fall ill, so authorities or passengers may follow up on tests or contact tracing in the coming days.
