Emergency landing as smelly passenger causes others to ‘vomit and faint’

A Transavia plane was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger’s body odour allegedly caused others to vomit and faint.

 

A Transavia flight from Gran Canaria to Amsterdam had to make an emergency landing in Faro, Portugal after a passenger’s body odour caused others to ‘vomit and faint.’

 

Passengers were reported to have been overwhelmed by the ‘unbearable’ smell of the man.

 

A Belgian passenger on board the flight said: “It was like he hadn’t washed himself for several weeks. Several passengers got sick and had to puke.”

 

Flight attendants tried to quarantine the unwashed man in the toilet, before the pilots decided to divert the flight.

 

A Transavia spokesman said: “The airplane diverted because of medical reasons, but it is indeed right that he smelled quite a bit.”

 

This is not the first smelly incident on a Transavia flight.

 

Earlier this year, a fight broke out on a flight from Dubai to Amsterdam over an elderly passenger’s excessive farting, resulting in the pilot making an emergency landing in Vienna.
