A flight that was headed to the Spanish Island of Gran Canaria had to make an emergency landing after a passenger's body odour became overwhelming and passengers began to vomit.
The man in question smelt so bad that other tourists began fainting and vomiting after the plane took off from Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands.
A passenger on the flight described the smell as 'unbearable.'
'It was like he hadn't washed himself for several weeks. Several passengers got sick and had to puke,' he said.
Staff on board the Transavia plane had reportedly tried to quarantine the passenger in a toilet of the Boeing 737 before pilots took the action to divert the flight.
Transavia confirmed the emergency landing was due to 'medical reasons.'
'The aeroplane diverted because of medical reasons, but it is indeed right that he smelled quite a bit,' a spokesman said.
The reasons behind why the man smelt so bad are unknown along with what medical issues he was suffering from.
