At least two pilots and three flight attendants aboard the American Airlines flight requested medical attention, while one of the flight attendants also went to the hospital as a precaution.
None of the 149 passengers on board requested medical attention.
Those passengers were moved to a new aircraft to continue their flight plans.
The cause of the odor is still unknown.
