Eight planes at Heathrow Airport were grounded this morning after passengers on board complained of coronavirus symptoms. Passengers on a United Airlines flight from San Francisco were told to stay put after landing because someone may have caught the deadly flu-like disease. Travellers say the captain warned they could be stuck on the tarmac for some time as concerns had been raised on seven other planes. Public Health England and Heathrow officials have refused to release any details about this mornings incident which would have involved hundreds of passengers.

But United Airlines have confirmed someone had become unwell on board Flight 901 from San Francisco. A passenger on board the flight said travellers had been asked to fill in a form before workers in hazmat suits came to clean the vehicle. Andy West, from Henley-on-Thames, said staff led a passenger to the back of the aircraft and waited for health officials to arrive.

The traveller said everyone else was allowed to leave about half-an-hour later. He told MailOnline: We were told to stay sat until authorities came on board, and he [the captain] said that seven other flights had landed and had a similar situation. Id be lying if I said I wasnt worried, my mind started to race.

The chief development officer for a PR agency said cabin crew were not wearing any masks or protective clothing when dealing with the passenger.
