Germany's BFU reported in their August bulletin released in November 2012, that a strong odour occurred in the cabin shortly after departure. After cabin crew and passengers began to complain about sudden headaches, the first officer left his seat to check the situation in the cabin and upon return also complained about headache and donned his oxygen mask, which prompted the captain to also leave his seat and check the situation in the cabin. A short time after his return he too felt unwell, donned his oxygen mask, declared emergency and diverted the aircraft to Linz. All 5 crew members went to a hospital for checks.
