HAZMAT-suited medics boarded a plane after a passenger sneezed and joked he had Ebola.
US Airways Flight 845 from Philadelphia was greeted with a hazmat team and inspected by local health officials when it arrived in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
The 54-year-old American reportedly yelled, "I have Ebola, you are all screwed."
He also yelled out, "I've been to Africa!" an airport official told Fox News Latino.
Passengers were held on the plane for two hours after it landed, while medics carried out tests.
A spokesman for American Airlines, which now includes merger partner US Airways, acknowledged the plane was inspected on arrival "due to a possible health issue on board."
