An airport has revealed that it may have to change its existing carpet, due to the effects of too many smelly feet walking across it.
Officials at Palm Beach Airport in Florida "are complaining of odour," county airports director Bruce Pelly told an advisory board this week, the Palm Breach Post reports.
Airports spokeswoman Cassandra Davis stated that there are plans in place to change carpets and floor tiles at certain locations in the terminal, but these have not yet been finalised.
She said of officials: "They just want the carpeting changed."
Should such action take place it may lead to a major order being placed with a carpet firm, possibly for a surface with some form of odour-resistant qualities.
One company that has enjoyed a large deal to carpet an airport is Kidderminster-based firm Brintons.
The manufacturer won the contract to carpet the new Terminal 3 at Indira Ghandi International Airport in Delhi, the Kidderminster Shuttle revealed in January.
