Flying can stink sometimes, and apparently a passenger passing gas prompted a fight that forced a flight to land.

The Huffington Post reported the alleged incident occurred on Feb. 11 on a Transavia Airlines flight that left Dubai and was scheduled to land in Amsterdam. USA Today reported two passengers on the plane asked a man who was passing gas to stop, and he refused.

Reports indicate the passengers complained to flight attendants and asked for help, but the flight crew did not help the passengers. That’s when a fight allegedly broke out between the passengers and the man passing gas.

USA Today said the pilot of the airplane warned the passengers, but the fight continued, forcing the pilot to divert the plane to Vienna Airport, where it made an emergency landing. Police then boarded the plane and removed four passengers.

The Huffington Post said none of the passengers kicked off the plane were arrested because they had not broken any Austrian laws, but they have been banned from flying Transavia Airlines in the future.
