**Shortly after landing at Cairns Airport from Gold Coast, four cabin crew members aboard Jetstar Airways flight JQ966 reported feeling faint due to an unusual smell in the aircraft’s cabin. Despite no passengers reporting the smell, the affected crew members exhibited symptoms including nausea, headaches, eye irritation, and lightheadedness, prompting medical attention. They were administered oxygen and transported to the hospital for observation in stable condition. The incident did not affect the aircraft’s landing, and it is scheduled for a thorough inspection by engineers to determine the source of the odor, while the rest of the flight operations remained unaffected.**
