**Emergency Landing as American Airlines Flight Returns to LAX** An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency return to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) after passengers reported feeling unwell due to fumes in the cabin. The flight, which took off just before 5pm local time on Monday, was en route to JFK International Airport in New York. Shortly after take-off, several passengers began to complain about a strong smell of fumes. The pilots also alerted air traffic control, stating they could smell and taste something unusual. Upon landing, seven passengers were assessed by medical personnel, but none required hospitalisation. Flight tracking data from FlightRadar24 indicated that the aircraft performed a loop before returning to LAX for the emergency landing. Following checks, no hazardous substances were detected on board, and the flight was scheduled to depart again a few hours later. This incident follows a similar occurrence involving a Delta Airlines flight that had to return to Heathrow Airport after smoke filled the cockpit while flying over Cornwall. That flight, bound for Boston Logan International Airport, made an emergency landing just an hour and 35 minutes after take-off. Emergency services met the aircraft upon landing, and passengers were safely escorted back to the terminal. A spokesperson for Delta Airlines stated, "Delta flight 59 from London-Heathrow to Boston on October 5, 2025, landed safely after returning to LHR due to reports of smoke in the aircraft. Delta's customer team is assisting customers with accommodations and rebooking. We apologise to our customers for the delay, but safety for our customers and crew will always be Delta's top priority." American Airlines has been contacted for further comment regarding the incident.
