New Delhi, Jun 2 (Daily Bhaskar): Air India flight AI 121 to Frankfurt that took off from Delhi on Saturday afternoon returned to IGI airport three hours later because all four toilets on the aircraft were clogged.
With two full meals, an evening snack and unlimited supply of beverages awaiting the 214 passengers on board, completing the over eight-hour-long journey without a toilet was not an option for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The two toilets in the front for business class passengers as well as the two in the rear were out of order.
"The flushes were unserviceable so the plane had to return to Delhi," an Air India official confirmed. "The passengers could not board another aircraft since night curfew in Frankfurt would have kicked in by the time the alternate plane would have reached there."
