Seven Hawaiian Airlines flight attendants became nauseous and developed headaches after an unidentified odour was reported aboard a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu on 24 September. The aircraft landed safely, and the crew members were assessed by medical personnel; no passengers needed treatment.

The Airbus A330, operating as Alaska Airlines Flight 803, carried 252 passengers and nine crew members. Emergency responders met it in Honolulu at about 12.30 pm, and all seven attendants declined hospital transport. The odour’s source has not been made public, and the aircraft was inspected before returning to service.
