The Boeing 777-300ER (registration F-GZNI) had to make an unscheduled landing on Friday, January 3 2025 while on route to its destination from Paris.

The plane wasn’t far from its destination of Rio de Janeiro when it had to divert to Pinto Martins International Airport in Fortaleza.

Fraport, which manages the Brazilian airport, said Flight AF484 had to make the stop due to a QTU (Quick Toilet Unit) on board needing to be serviced and cleared of sanitary waste.
