A United Airlines flight from Munich to Washington has been diverted to Boston's Logan International Airport because a female passenger complained of flu symptoms, an airport official said.
Flight 903, a 737 containing 245 passengers and 16 crew, has been isolated in the north cargo area of the airport, said airport spokesman Phil Orlandella.
One patient was removed from the plane and was being taken to Masachusetts General Hospital, said Jennifer Mehigan, a spokeswoman for Boston Emergency Medical Services. The other passengers are expected to stay on board and continue to Washington after refueling, airport officials said.
A United Airlines spokesman didn't immediately return a message seeking comment. Flight 903 left Munich at 5:32 a.m. Eastern time, headed for Dulles International Airport outside of Washington. It arrived in Boston at 1:46 p.m, according to the airline's website.

the funny thing is that a person is MOST infectious days before they show symptoms.
So they’ll land a plane, take off a passenger and give him an exam - but they won’t slow the border.
sheesh
“Rimshot Joe” was right! Stay off of airplanes.
It’s not getting huge. It’s getting over hyped. The media is intentionally blowing this out of proportion to cover up Emperor Zero’s diplomatic failures of the recent weeks and the sharp uptick in terrorist actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And who knew that a 737 had the range to fly from Munich to Washington D.C.?
I'm sure that passenger capacity is news to Boeing.
Must be the new 737-1500.
Actually, they have corrected their mistake - it’s now a 777.
This is stupid. The virus is out. Measures like stopping airplanes will not make any difference.
Did she order the chicken or the fish?
Don’t let any potential situation, go to waste.

It was just too dangerous to fly an additional 45 minutes with that whining passenger - is that it? What possibly could be accomplished by that - after flying across the Atlantic?
Vey Series!
And don’t call me,Shirley!
I had the lasagna.
Where is your picture of Barbara Billingsley?
You don’t need her; I talk jive!
She had the tortilla.

“Let’s land at Dulles”
No - that’s just what they are expecting us to do.
