When the air hostess returned to the back of the plane to take seat for the flight, she saw the scene pictured.
In the photograph, two women were seen crouching around a young child.
One was thought to be the child's mother while the other was a family member.
They appear to be in the corridor right outside the toilets to the rear of the plane.
Both of the toilets in the back of the plane were said to be unoccupied as the child defecated near the galley.
The area is normally where airline staff sit during take off and landing as well as prepare food for the passengers.
It is also near food storage and is generally not open to the public.
The woman had apparently told the air hostess that the toilets were too narrow to fit three people and didn't even bother to apologise.
She was even heard to be telling the child to take its time as the plane hasn't taken off yet.
According to reports, the women were ordered to clear up the mess themselves.
