About 10 sick passengers were treated after an Emirates flight from Dubai landed in New York City Wednesday morning, the airline said.
The plane was kept away from the terminal at John F. Kennedy airport as authorities investigated reports of sick passengers.
Emirates flight 203 had declared a medical emergency and landed in New York at 9:10 a.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
"Emirates can confirm that about 10 passengers on #EK203 from Dubai to New York were taken ill. On arrival, as a precaution, they were attended to by local health authorities. All others will disembark shortly. The safety & care of our customers is our first priority," the airline tweeted.
Aerial images showed passengers disembarking the plane shortly after.
The flu is being investigated as a possible culprit, two sources told ABC News.
The plane was quarantined after it landed and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was at the scene, said New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio's press secretary, Eric Phillips.
"Flight started in Dubai and stopped in Mecca, which is experiencing a flu outbreak. Early indications point to that as a POSSIBILITY. More to come," Phillips tweeted, adding that ambulances were on hand to transport people.
A total of 521 passengers were on board, sources told ABC News.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey declined to discuss the matter further as the situation is ongoing.

Viendo FlightRadar... El vuelo (EK203) fue directo DXB-JFK, eso sí, probablemente con muchos pasajeros en conexión desde Mecca ya que el hajj tiene poco que terminó.
Comentario quizás off topic, un amigo que reside en Arabia me ha hecho el comentario que una vez que termina el hajj... Es casi de rigor un brote de fiebre entre la comunidad musulmana que asiste de todas partes del mundo, y este termina en Agosto...
Saludos.
