A Cathay Pacific flight from Riyadh to Hong Kong was recently forced to land in Mumbai due to the severity of the toilet problems it was suffering. This has not been the only instance of a Cathay Pacific
flight suffering toilet blockages of late.
The airline describes a spate of similar events on board their Airbus planes, with some flights forced to carry limited numbers of passengers as a result.
Cathay say that passengers are not blameless in this and go on to list items that have been found in waste pipes, including clothes and children’s soft toys.
