A baffling and unidentified odor sent seven flight attendants into medical distress aboard an Alaska Airlines flight, operated as Hawaiian Airlines, en route to Honolulu from Los Angeles on September 24th. The Airbus A330, carrying 252 passengers and nine crew members, landed safely at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, where first responders from multiple agencies were waiting. Upon arrival, the seven affected crew members were evaluated by medical personnel and subsequently released, with no passengers requiring assistance. The source of the mysterious odor remains under investigation, and the aircraft is undergoing inspection before returning to service. This incident follows a similar event on an American Airlines flight from Rome where an odor traced to an onboard oven led to a diversion and medical evaluations for some crew and passengers.
