Narrative:Lufthansa Cityline flight LH1705, an Embraer ERJ-195LR, diverted to Linz, Austria, after the flight crew reported a strong odour in the aircraft cabin.
As a result, some passengers and flight attendants reported sudden headaches. After the co-pilot had briefly visited the cabin and then also complained of a sudden headache and put on his oxygen mask, the pilot in command also checked the situation in the passenger cabin. As he also began to feel distinctly unwell after a short time, the pilots declared an air emergency and carried out an alternative landing in Linz under oxygen masks for safety reasons. After landing, the five crew members went to a hospital for medical clarification.
