Not the first time Emirates has been put under the spotlight this year
Earlier this year, Emirates crew told two siblings with nut allergies to spend the flight in the plane's toilet to avoid inhaling cashew residue.
The siblings, who have been identified as Sundeep and Shannen Sahota, claimed to have informed Emirates staff members about their allergies prior to booking, during check-in, and once again while boarding.
Just 40 minutes into the flight, en route from Birmingham to Dubai, the siblings learned that one of the in-flight meals included "cashews" in its ingredients.
Upon discovery, the siblings informed cabin crew of the problematic situation as "being exposed to nut residue circulated by the plane vents could send them into anaphylactic shock."
The siblings reiterated that the cabin crew did not quite "understand the severity of it," during This Morning Show.
Instead, the cabin crew advised the siblings to spend 7.5 hours in the airplane's bathroom.
