Delta Air Lines flight DL194 from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) was forced to return to Atlanta after only flying for less than two hours due to a biohazard in the cabin. What exactly was the concern? Apparently, a passenger had “diarrhea all over the aircraft.”
A Delta Airlines Airbus A350 turned around back to Atlanta Friday night because of diarrhea throughout the airplane from a passenger and it’s a biohazard. 👀🥴

One of the pilots told air traffic control:
It’s a biohazard issue. We’ve got a passenger who’s had diarrhea all the way through the airplane so they (Delta) want us to come back to Atlanta.”
The Airbus A350-900 made a loop back to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and passengers were deplaned around 10:52 PM.
The plane was then thoroughly cleaned and departed again around 2:57 AM. This made the flight over eight hours delayed. It arrived into Barcelona around 5:10 PM.
Anthony’s Take: This passenger must have been having quite a bad case to not be able to make it to a lavatory and have to go down the aisle en route. I feel sorry for everyone involved as this was not a situation that anyone wanted to be in.
