The individual responsible for the incident has not been publicly identified. Following the unexpected U-turn to Atlanta, all passengers and crew members were transferred to another flight.

Unfortunately, this bizarre incident led to a significant delay in the passengers’ journey to Barcelona.

According to Flightradar24, the flight arrived at its destination eight hours later than originally scheduled.

It remains uncertain whether the passenger with the gastrointestinal issue was still on board when the flight eventually landed in Spain.

Delta officials have acknowledged the occurrence of a “medical issue” on the flight, which necessitated the emergency landing and subsequent cleaning. However, they have not provided specific details regarding the nature of the medical condition that prompted the incident.
