At least two JetBlue crew members were transported to the hospital after falling ill aboard a flight from Boston to Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday.
According to WCVB, firefighters were called to Charleston International Airport shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon after a pair of crew members reported smelling smoke in the cabin.
JetBlue confirmed the two employees were taken to the hospital and said an inspection of the odor found that it was nail polish remover.
Wednesday's situation is just the latest in a slew of incidents involving the New York-based low-cost carrier.
