American Airlines Group Inc. is examining another Boeing Co. 777-200 aircraft after passengers and flight attendants fell ill on a second international flight this week.
Flight 904 was en route to Miami from Rio de Janeiro when it diverted to Brasilia after three crew members and one passenger said they felt light-headed, Matt Miller, an American spokesman, said Friday in an interview. Those affected were examined by paramedics at the airport early Friday and declined further medical treatment, he said.
