A Lufthansa Airbus A320-200, registration D-AINF performing flight
LH-916 from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was climbing out of Frankfurt when the crew stopped the climb at FL170 due to an odour on board and decided to return to Frankfurt, where the aircraft landed safely on runway 25L about 40 minutes after departure.
A passenger reported: "Something was abnormal given the seatbelt signs were held on for longer than usual and no turbulences had been announced. We were sitting at the back of the cabin and noticed some strange odour. We heard that a flight attendant at the aft galley had vomitted. At that point, the captain made the announcement to return to FRA. We were greeted by 2 fire trucks."
The rotation was cancelled.
The aircraft remained on the ground in Frankfurt for about 23 hours then returned to service.
