Passenger Suffers Severe Illness After Eating Inflight Meal on Etihad Airways

Cameron Callaghan vomited 30 times during a six-hour flight, blaming improperly stored pasta for his food poisoning.

Cameron Callaghan, a British traveler, became severely ill after eating a 'smelly' tomato, cheesy chicken pasta on an Etihad Airways flight from Manchester to Abu Dhabi.
The passenger experienced intense gastrointestinal distress, including vomiting 30 times and diarrhea, rendering him too weak to stand by the end of the flight.
Callaghan attributed his illness to improper storage of the meal during a five-hour flight delay, though Etihad Airways denied the food was the cause, citing strict preparation standards.
Upon landing, Callaghan required a wheelchair and medical treatment, including an IV drip, at Abu Dhabi airport before continuing his journey to Bangkok.
Etihad Airways stated no other passengers reported illness from the same meal and emphasized their commitment to passenger safety and food quality.
