UP to 11 passengers and crew fell ill with food poisoning on a nine-hour Air India flight from London.
Passengers said they felt dizzy and nauseous on the hellish flight to Mumbai on Monday.
Air India confirmed the incident but said just five passengers and two crew members were ill.
But earlier eyewitness accounts suggested as many as 11 people, including six crew, were affected.
Air India said in a statement to Hindustan Times: “On board flight AI-130 from London Heathrow to Mumbai, five passengers and two crew reported feeling dizzy and nauseous during different phases of the flight.
“Our medical experts were prepared to offer prompt medical aid after the airplane safely touched down in Mumbai.
“Two passengers and two cabin staff members who were still feeling ill after landing were brought to the hospital room for additional testing before being released. We have informed the regulator and are looking into the incident.”
The Boeing 777 landed safely in Mumbai, with medical teams on standby.
