An Airbus A330 returns to Amsterdam en route to Detroit.
Rotten fish and maggots in a suitcase are the reason.
Amsterdam – It is a common and pleasant way of traveling for many people.
Peace and relaxation often dominate when the plane takes to the skies.
Time flies.
Suddenly, however, noise and shouting breaks the silence in the plane.
Crew announcements sound.
Something similar happened on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.
Maggots fall out of suitcase: plane has to return to Amsterdam
The consequence: Delta aircraft No. DL133, which left Amsterdam for Detroit, turned around shortly after takeoff and landed back in Amsterdam.
This happened less than an hour after departure.
At the time, the Airbus A330 was already over 10,000 meters high.
Recently, a Lufthansa flight had to turn back on its way to New York due to an aggressive passenger.
The reason for the unusual reversal?
Neither technical breakdowns nor medical emergencies nor bad weather.
It was a single passenger suitcase that was responsible for the chaos.
The contents of the suitcase: rotten fish.
According to reports from
Airlive.net,
maggots began crawling out of the suitcase, some of which fell on economy class passengers.

The suitcase is confiscated and burned - the flight is canceled
After the plane returned to Amsterdam, the suitcase in question was immediately confiscated, put in a bag and burned.
The airline decided to cancel the flight.
They have these rights if their flight suffers the same fate.
The aircraft, which has been in service for 16 years, was thoroughly cleaned and was ready to fly again within a few hours.
However, the incident sheds light on potential security vulnerabilities and the need for stricter hand baggage screening.
“Really wonderful to find out that rotten fish and maggots are flying with us
The importance of security checks was also highlighted by
Aeronewsjournal.com
following the incident.
Decisive steps have been taken to ensure the safety of air travel.
Even if this meant canceling a flight that had already taken off.
Just last year a plane had to turn back, also due to a disgust alarm.
The reason for this was a passenger's diarrhea.
