A Delta aircraft returned to Airport after maggots were falling on passengers.

Yesterday, Tuesday, February 13 2024, flight DL133 from Amsterdam to Detroit returned to Schiphol.

We first reported the Airbus A330 was forced to turn around, we now know the cause.

The flight DL133 departed on February 13, 2024 by 10:30 CET but less than one hour into the flight, while cruising at 33,000ft, the crew decided to turn around.

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.

The aircraft (reg. N821NW) was deeply cleaned and is supposed to resume service in the coming hours.
