The airport reported the passengers suffered from itchy eyes, dizziness and a number vomitted. 11 were taken to hospitals, their condition was not known to the airport. Emergency services took measurements of the cabin air immediately after being called on scene and found no issue with the cabin air quality. The airline has initiated an investigation into the occurrence, a ventilation problem during the de-icing is being suspected.
On Feb 6th 2019 the Canadian TSB reported: "While parked at the gate and undergoing de-icing, fumes were noticed in the flight deck as well as reported by the cabin crew. It was quickly attributed to de-icing fluid being ingested by the APU. The aircraft was deplaned and emergency services contacted. 11 passengers and 4 crew members were seen by paramedics and transported to the hospital for observations."
