A Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Barcelona, Spain was diverted back to its original airport after a passenger experienced an "onboard medical issue," which was reportedly a case of "diarrhea all the way through the plane."
The website FlightRadar24.com shows Delta Flight DL194 was about two hours into its eight-hour flight when it turned around over Virginia and headed back to Atlanta.
A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, who appears to devote his page to flight material shared audio recorded from the Airbus A350 that was broadcast on LiveATC.com.
On the recording, a pilot tells air traffic control, "This is a biohazard issue."
"We’ve had a passenger who’s had diarrhea all the way through the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta," the pilot added.
A Delta spokesperson confirmed with Fox News Digital there was no emergency landing because of the biohazard situation, but the flight did return to its original airport.
"Delta flight 194 from Atlanta to Barcelona returned to Atlanta following an onboard medical issue," the spokesperson said. "Our teams worked as quickly and safely as possible to thoroughly clean the airplane and get our customers to their final destination. We sincerely apologize to our customers for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans."

What does “diarrhea all the way thru the plane” mean? Was this passenger walking up and down the aisles blasting away? LOL
Sh!t happens.
Not sure how one would walk through the aisles if there was a "biohazard" on the carpet. Even with rolls of paper towels ...
However the pax got off the plane, I suspect that stepping carefully was involved.
Yet another reason not to fly.
Never eat Delta Chalupa.
I thought everybody knew by now not to eat those Haribo sugar free gummy bears!
And that is why I take imodium before a flight, and during a long flight. I had food poisoning which triggered a number of medical issues and needed to be evacuated from my home here in Papua. The doctor who was trying to kill me, really, I honestly think she was trying to kill me, said to stop taking it, “you don’t want to be stopped up all through the flight, do you?”
I looked at her and said, “oh, yes, yes I do.” I went ahead and took it. My fellow passengers, although they didn’t know it, were quite relieved.
Ever seen Alien? It eats through one deck after another.
That’s shitty!
Related to the Alien, with acid for blood and even diareahha?
Ya beat me soundly.....
Cholera.
Or, maybe, Delta Chalupa. ;-)
Ditto.
I feel for the person, not a pleasant experience, nor the attention it is garnering either.
Hold the Mayo, and give me Ham on 5
Running for the bathroom.
Gawd, I’m not looking forward to flying this fall. I’d do anything to drive but it’s too far and time consuming.
These crazy incidents are on the rise! Hurry up retirement!
Sounds like pouring down both legs and filling up the shoes bad.
