Overview

• A Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit was forced to turn back after maggots fell from an overhead compartment onto passengers.
• The source of the maggots was a rotting fish inside a passenger's carry-on luggage.
• Delta Airlines awarded the affected passengers 8,000 air miles, hotel accommodations if needed, and a $30 meal voucher as restitution.
• The aircraft was taken out of service for cleaning, and passengers were placed on the next available flight.
• Security measures and the responsibility of the passenger carrying the rotting fish have been called into question.
