Passengers on a Condor flight from the idyllic island of Mauritius to Frankfurt, Germany, were met with an unexpected and unsettling situation on May 2nd. During the nearly 12-hour flight, a staggering 70 out of the 290 passengers onboard experienced a sudden onset of nausea and vomiting. The ailment spread rapidly within the cabin, leaving passengers reaching for airsick bags and seeking assistance from the flight crew.
Upon landing in Frankfurt, emergency vehicles and medical personnel were on standby to attend to the affected individuals. While no passengers required hospitalization, the situation prompted an immediate investigation by Condor, the operating airline. The airline has remained in close communication with relevant partners and authorities to determine the cause of the illness. However, as of Friday, no conclusive reason had been identified.
In response to the incident, Condor has taken swift action to enhance its cleaning and loading protocols specifically for flights departing from Mauritius. The airline is now implementing more thorough cleaning measures for all surfaces and objects within the aircraft. Additionally, Condor has introduced a new batch of meals to be served on these flights as an added precaution.
The well-being of passengers remains paramount for Condor, and the airline is committed to ensuring the safety and comfort of its customers. The investigation into the mysterious illness is ongoing, and Condor will provide updates as more information becomes available.
