Passengers stuck on Delta flight 4 hours fainted, threw up due to heat

In Las Vegas, at least one passenger aboard a Delta flight bound for Atlanta was treated for heat-related discomfort Monday.

According to the National Weather Service, temperatures at Harry Reid International Airport exceeded 100 degrees on Monday, with a high of 115 degrees.

Passengers said they were stuck inside the plane on the tarmac for over four hours.

“It was just chaos … there was a woman walking up the aisle who looked like she was going to pass out and they ended up putting an oxygen mask on her," said Krista Garvin, a passenger.

While the Delta plane was stuck for hours on the tarmac at Harry Reid, passengers were stuck inside the plane for over four hours. The temperature was 111 degrees.

“There's ambulances outside the window, multiple firemen, departments, a bunch of them went to the back ... a bunch of people had thrown up, people had fainted, you know, gone to the bathroom," Garvin said.

Garvin said her flight was scheduled to leave at 1:40 p.m. After two hours, people around started to get sick from the heat, including flight attendants.

“It’s just traumatizing at this point, there's people running around everywhere, they come over the loud speaker and say you can choose to get off the plane or you can stay on. And if you get off, just know you won't get a flight out for a couple days," Garvin said.

After four hours, everyone was asked to leave the plane. Garvin said those who passed out were taken out on a stretcher.

Garvin said she was told to come back the next day for a flight at 7 a.m., and that was canceled as well.

In a statement, Harry Reid airport said medical teams did respond to a call aboard an aircraft.

Delta in a statement said they apologize and are looking into the circumstances that led to uncomfortable temperatures inside the cabin.

Delta said the passengers received a compensatory offer and were accommodated finding other flights.
