A medical emergency was declared on Flight BA286 from San Francisco, forcing the double-decker Airbus A380 to make an emergency landing at Vancouver International Airport.

BA said cabin crew members were taken to hospitals "as a precaution" before being discharged.

In a statement, the airline said: "We are sorry for the delay to our customers' flight but the safety and well-being of our customers and crew is always our top priority."

Vancouver has arranged hotel accommodation for the customers and will book them on alternative flights as soon as possible.
