For
the second time in two days, an American Airlines flight was forced to
make an emergency landing Friday after passengers and crew fell ill.
Flight
904, which was left Rio de Janeiro at 10.16pm Thursday heading for
Miami, was diverted to Brasilia after four people—including three
members of staff—complained of lightheadedness, the airline confirmed in
a statement to Daily Mail Online.
'The
aircraft landed safely at Brasilia at 12.37am and was met by paramedics
who evaluated the passenger and crew members. None requested further
medical attention,' an American Airlines spokesperson said.
'Our maintenance team is currently inspecting the aircraft and performing a thorough maintenance check.'

The
emergency landing happened the day after an American Airlines flight to
Los Angeles was forced to return to London's Heathrow Airport after
around 15 people on board fell ill.
One
passenger on the Miami-bound flight told Daily Mail Online she saw
people 'pass out' from the mystery illness before the plane landed.
'We
are currently still in Brasilia where we made an emergency landing
because crew members and passengers passed out and became unwell,' the
woman wrote in an email.
'It sounds exactly like what happened on the other flight with us not being allowed off the plane for two hours.
'As
you can imagine frustrating chaos followed and most people are stuck
here for 48 hours. One of the crew said something about oven cleaner
reacting badly.'
Another
passenger, Xime Etchart, wrote on Twitter early Friday morning:
'Emergency landing in Brasilia from Rio to Miami. We're all still
waiting for an update on when we are flying back...'
A second American Airlines flight may
have been forced to make an emergency landing after passengers became
ill. Above, a passenger revealed on Twitter that she was forced to wait
in Brasilia
In a second tweet, Etchart wrote she'd been stuck in Brasilia for six hours with 'no food, no room, no help at all.'
The
Miami-bound Boeing 777, which carried 203 passengers and 14 crew
members, is thought to be the same model as the one that was forced to
divert back to London Heathrow following a 'medical emergency' on
Wednesday.
The
captain on the flight from London to Los Angeles made the decision to
turn around after increasing numbers of people on-board became ill.
