The flight turned approximately 400nm west of Shannon, Ireland, circling for several hours in order to burn off fuel before returning to Manchester Airport at approximately 15:20PM BST. The plane, which has the capacity to carry up to 288 passengers originally took off from Manchester at 12:10PM UK time and was due to arrive in Orlando at 15:10 PM local time, however due to the toilet malfunction, a rescheduled flight finally departed from Manchester at 20:47PM.
According to aviation website, AVherald, passengers reported that all but 2 lavatories malfunctioned obviously as result of an electrical problem. However, Thomson airlines said the aircraft returned as a precaution after suffering a technical problem. The passengers disembarked and boarded another aircraft to Orlando.
