The incident comes just days after an American Airlines flight from London to LA was forced to return to Heathrow when a mystery illness swept the cabin.
An unnamed passenger who said they were on flight AA904 told MailOnline: “We are currently still in Brasilia where we made an emergency landing because crew members and passengers passed out and became unwell.”
‘It sounds exactly like what happened on the other flight with us not being allowed off the plane for two hours”
“As you can imagine frustrating chaos followed and most people are stuck here for 48 hours. One of the crew said something about oven cleaner reacting badly.”
Another passenger Xime Etchart, wrote on Twitter: “Emergency landing in Brasilia from Rio to Miami. We’re all still waiting for an update on when we are flying back.”

Hazardous Area Response team crews scrambled to the American Airlines jet amid fears of a serious incident.
Panicked passengers have told how Heathrow officials boarded the flight moments after it landed while luggage was also mysteriously confiscated.
The Boeing 777-300 was forced to turn back around four hours into its journey, as it flew over Keflavik in Iceland.
One flight attendant collapsed and six other crew complained of feeling faint, along with two passengers.
It is believed up to three flyers also fell ill, including a man in his 60s and another in his 40s.
Initial tests have not revealed what caused those on board to fall ill, while mystery surrounds the reason for seizing passengers’ luggage.
