HOLIDAY HORROR: Emergency landing as plane passenger’s body odour causes others to VOMIT
A PLANE full of holidaymakers was forced to make an emergency landing after passengers began to vomit and faint because of the stench of one man's body odour.
The flight was heading to the Spanish island of Gran Canaria when it had to make an unexpected detour as passengers became overwhelmed by the “unbearable” smell of the “unwashed” man.
The man in question smelt so bad that other tourists began fainting and vomiting after the plane took off from Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands.
Belgian passenger Piet van Haut who was on board the flight described the smell of the man as “unbearable”.
He said: "It was like he hadn't washed himself for several weeks. Several passengers got sick and had to puke."
Staff on board the Transavia plane had reportedly tried to quarantine the passenger in a toilet of the Boeing 737 before pilots took the action to divert the flight.
The plane landed in the Portuguese city of Fargo to allow the smelly man to be removed from the aircraft. A picture taken by a passenger shows medical personnel taking the man from the flight into a bus.
Transavia confirmed the emergency landing was due to "medical reasons".
The reasons behind why the man smelt so bad are unknown along with what medical issues he was suffering from.
A Transavia spokesman said: "The aeroplane diverted because of medical reasons, but it is indeed right that he smelled quite a bit."
For Transavia this is not the first smelly incident on their flights this year.
In February, a Transavia plane was forced to make an emergency landing because a passenger could not stop releasing wind.
The flight from Dubai to Amsterdam had to land in the Austrian capital of Vienna after a brawl between passengers broke out because of the passenger’s flatulence.
