An air stewardess who works for a Tawainese airline, EVA AIR posted on social media yesterday about a foreign passenger who requested her to remove his pants, his underwear before assisting him to wipe off his buttocks after he finished his business. She has suffered severe emotional distress after the incident as she claimed that ‘the foul smell of faeces is stuck permanently in her mind.’

According to local reports in Taiwan, a disabled foreign passenger who weighed 200kg had to use a wheelchair to board the plane. He made a special request to take up 3 Economy Class seats after the plane took off. The passenger then asked the air stewardess on duty at his cabin to assist him to go to the toilet because he still suffered from pain from his right hand after surgery. After complying with his request, he demanded the air stewardess to help him remove his pants.

After removing his pants and underwear, she had to wait for him to defecate because he told her that if she didn’t help him to wipe his buttocks, he wouldn’t be able to leave the toilet. As there was no other male steward on duty, she had to call upon the Cabin Service Manager to assist her. He had to wear three layers of gloves to complete the task.

After the incident, she locked herself in the toilet to cry and throw up as the odour from the man’s faeces nauseated her.
