Qantas were forced to ground one of their domestic flights after passengers began complaining over the smell of a dirty diaper.

Flight 825 was en route to Brisbane from Darwin when travellers caused a stir over the odor

The pilot was forced to land the plane in Mount Isa, approximately 1,152 miles from the original destination.

A Qantas statement revealed that a nappy had been stuffed down a toilet.

It read: 'Unfortunately the fumes turned out to be a very smelly nappy dumped in the forward toilet.

'Procedures dictate to land as soon as possible. [It's] very embarrassing for us all at [Qantas], but, better safe than sorry.'

Having made the precautionary landing, passengers were removed from the plane by a forklift and switched to a new craft where they continued to Brisbane.

Meanwhile, their original plane underwent the necessary checks before it joined the commuters in the capital with their luggage.
