On September 1, 2023, Delta Air Lines Flight 194, a regularly scheduled flight from Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta to Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport in Barcelona, had a passenger who suffered from and discharged severe diarrhea,[1][2][3] which caused several parts of the aircraft cabin to be contaminated with fecal matter.[4][5] The flight was then reverted to Atlanta and arrived in Barcelona the following day.[6][7][8][9]
Flight[edit]
Delta Air Lines Flight 194 took off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at around 8:30 EST with 336 passengers.[10] During the flight, an unnamed passenger had explosive diarrhea,[11] causing the aircraft cabin to be contaminated, and one of the cabin aisles to be covered with feces[12][13][14] It was reported that a vanilla-scented air freshener was used to mask the smell of the diarrhea, but to no avail.[15][16] The pilot from Delta Air Lines Flight 194 stated to air traffic control: "It's just a biohazard issue, we had a passenger who had diarrhea all the way through the airplane so they want us to come back to Atlanta,".[17][18][19][20] The plane then proceeded to make a u-turn over Virginia,[21][22] and landed back in Atlanta at around 10:40 EST.[23][24][25]
