Emirates airline has claimed that ten passengers have been removed from a quarantined flight at the John F. Kennedy International Airport despite numerous reports of 100 passengers falling ill. Initial reports said up to 100 passengers fell ill, but a statement from Emirates put that number at just 10. 'Emirates can confirm that about 10 passengers on #EK203 from Dubai to New York were taken ill,' the statement read. Airport officials said Emirates Flight 203 was carrying 500 passengers when some of them reported feeling sick. Another passenger, Erin Sykes, tweeted: '@emirates worst flight ever Dubai to NYC; plane was basically a flying infermary [sic].'
