NEW YORK—Eleven people aboard an Emirates airline flight from Dubai were taken to New York hospitals with a mystery ailment on Sept. 5 after scores of passengers and crew complained of feeling sick during the 14-hour overnight trip from the Middle East.
The type of illness was not immediately confirmed, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a statement that symptoms included sore throats, coughing, and fever.
