On a flight from Chicago to Frankfurt Airport, the toilets cause problems.
The pilot decides to turn back.
Frankfurt – A Lufthansa machine on the way to Frankfurt Airport had to turn back because the Boeing 747-8 had problems with the toilets.
A passenger told the Aviation Herald portal.
Even before departure from Chicago, the captain said that there were "minor problems with the toilets".
The problems were probably more serious than expected.
So the plane, registered LH-431, turned back to Chicago about two and a half hours after takeoff from airspace over Canada.
Only two toilets were still working – with a passenger capacity of 364 people.
