Passengers onboard an easyJet flight are seething after someone "took a sh** on the toilet floor" forcing the airline to cancel the flight.
It's understood the flight was bound for London's Gatwick Airport from Spain's Tenerife on Sunday night (local time), which reportedly had already been delayed for several hours.
A passenger who Daily Mail did not name, said it all unfolded when customers moved from one plane to another.
The Mail reports the second plane was much smaller "so it was absolute chaos". The passenger told the Mail people were offered £500 (NZD$1033.10) vouchers if they volunteered to leave the flight.
"No one took it," the passenger said.
"So then they had to remove ten people from the plane, which caused a lot of arguing, and that literally took two hours."
They said passengers then started to notice the toilet situation.
In a clip shared by a separate passenger on X, formally Twitter, the pilot can be heard explaining the messy situation.
"[Somone found it] rather entertaining to defecate the front toilet, so we're now staying the night here, we're now going to get everyone off... and organise hotels then we'll fly back tomorrow morning."
A passenger told the Mail the "whole situation was handled really poorly because it could have genuinely been an accident".
"We had loads of issues with our flight... so someone could have literally just accidentally sh** themselves."
The passenger who posted to X said it was "real good" of easyJet to delay the flight for 3.5 hours with "zero communication" and then "decide to cancel it altogether because someone took a sh** on the toilet floor".
"Quite literally couldn't make this sh** up."
To add to the stink experience, easyJet then asked stranded passengers to organise their own accommodation for the night in Tenerife, following high demand for hotels in the area.
EasyJet has apologised for the disruption and promised to refund the cost of a "reasonably priced room" as well as other costs.
It requested passengers to find accommodation that was "three stars or equivalent".
Disrupted and disturbed passengers eventually managed to board a new flight to London the following afternoon.
