Heathrow-bound pilots 'made dizzy by smell as they landed'

[mhm]

The captain and co-pilot of a plane coming in to land at Heathrow donned oxygen masks after a strong smell made them feel dizzy, a report has said.

Despite the co-pilot experiencing eye irritation and being nauseous, the pair landed the 139-passenger Airbus safely.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report said there was also an odour in the passenger cabin.

The report said the source of the smell, which affected the aircraft on 21 October, could not be found.

The AAIB report described the incident, on the Lufthansa Airbus A321 from Frankfurt to London Heathrow, as serious.
