For those with the same sentiment, she clarified that this is not the case. In a video posted on TikTok, the airport staff member demonstrated how it is done.
When the aeroplane is on the ground, she said, the waste is vacuumed and stored in a tank mixed with disinfectant to control the odour. She wrote:
"For those who think when you flush the plane toilet it falls out in the sky and evaporates.
"Waste is vacuumed/stored in a tank mixed with disinfectant "blue juice" to control odour.
"Tank is dumped, flushed and refilled with "blue juice" by ground crew on arrival."
