阿联酋航空一架从杜拜起飞的E203航班惊传集体感染！外媒报导，美国当地时间5日上午8时50分该班机抵达纽约，一度传出约有百名乘客感到严重身体不适，伴随咳嗽、发烧症状，疑似集体感染疾病，阿联酋航空随后在推特澄清，生病乘客人数为10人。
Statement: Emirates can confirm that about 10 passengers on #EK203 from Dubai to New York were taken ill. On arrival, as a precaution, they were attended to by local health authorities. All others will disembark shortly. The safety & care of our customers is our first priority.
该航班为A380客机，机上载有约500名乘客，已经降落甘迺迪机场、停靠4号航站紧急隔离。现场约有7辆救护车在跑道上等待救援，美国疾管局将对乘客及飞机进行检查。目前乘客不适原因尚不明，初步判断可能与飞机上的食物有关。

阿联酋稍早发布声明指出，只有10名乘客生病，且已经立即遭当地卫生部门送医检查，其他乘客预计很快就会下机；公司总部并向美国官员表示，怀疑此事件是食物中毒引起。据当地媒体报导，至少有3名乘客被送往医院。
纽约反恐警方表示，正在监视机场的医疗情况。市长办公室并透过推特证实，有一架客机因乘客生病降落在甘迺迪机场，已经隔离，而麦加附近正经历流感爆发「是一种可能性」。
