The Boeing 777-200 had left Canada’s most populous city and was heading for the city of Lahore in Pakistan when the problem was discovered mid-air over the North Sea.
It then had to divert 200 miles to Manchester so the problem could be fixed before resuming its journey across Europe and Asia.
The airline tweeted: “Today's Toronto-Lahone PK-798 flight has been diverted to Manchester as its toilets got choked, due to something solid thrown by passengers.
“As all toilets are connected with a common drain line, the rest of the toilets were choked.
“Keeping in view the convenience of passengers, the flight has been diverted to Manchester where the toilets will be serviced before the flight continues its onward journey.
“Inconvenience to passengers is regretted.”
The plane took another hour to reach Manchester and then was on the ground for another three hours before it could take off again.
Passengers eventually reached Lahore with a delay of five hours.
