An Austrian Airlines flight from Vienna to New York had to return to its originating port on Monday after a number of onboard toilets stopped working.

Five of the Eight toilets are reported to have stopped working, leaving just three toilets for the 300 people onboard.

The crew onboard the Boeing 777 decided to turn back after the issue with the toilets was discovered, a spokesperson told local media.

The plane has since been fixed and has returned to service. The airline says its not an issue they’ve had before.
