American Airlines Flight to Spain Diverted to New York After Bathroom Overflow Incident

Date:

An American Airlines flight en route to Spain was forced to make an emergency diversion to New York after a bathroom overflowed on board, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The incident occurred late Wednesday night, around 10:30 p.m., shortly after the flight to Madrid departed from Dallas, Texas.

The airline attributed the disruption to a “maintenance issue” and confirmed that it arranged hotel accommodations for the affected passengers after the plane safely landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

This incident follows another recent diversion to JFK Airport, where several passengers on a different American Airlines flight fell violently ill after consuming spoiled food.

In a statement addressing the bathroom-related diversion, American Airlines expressed apologies to the passengers for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected landing.

“The aircraft landed normally and is scheduled to re-depart (Thursday) evening on a new aircraft,” the airline said. We never want to disrupt our customers’ travel plans and apologize for the inconvenience.

The FAA has announced that it is investigating the incident to determine the cause of the bathroom overflow.
