A suitcase containing rotten fish was in the overhead of the Airbus A330-300.

But according to sources to AIRLIVE, maggots started to get out of the suitcase and some fell on passengers seated in the economy class.

Once the aircraft landed, the passengers deplaned and the suitcase was put into a bag to be burnt.
