A flight operated by American Airlines, en route to Spain, had to make an unscheduled stop in New York City on Wednesday evening due to an overflowing bathroom. The incident occurred shortly after the plane departed from Dallas, leading the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to report the issue. The aircraft landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport at approximately 10:30 p.m.
American Airlines later clarified that the “maintenance issue” was linked to the bathroom sinks. The airline provided overnight travel accommodations for the passengers as they awaited a replacement aircraft to continue their journey to Spain. A spokesperson for American Airlines expressed regret for the disruption, acknowledging the inconvenience caused to travelers. The spokesperson noted that the aircraft landed safely and was scheduled to re-depart on Thursday evening using a new plane.
This emergency landing is part of a series of unusual incidents involving American Airlines in the past month. One such incident occurred when a flight from Amsterdam was diverted to JFK after several passengers became ill from consuming spoiled food onboard. Additionally, a Boeing 737 operated by the airline had to abort takeoff in Florida after one of its wheels exploded on the runway.
