Plane Turns Around After Rat Spotted On Board
An Air India flight to London has been forced to turn around after a rat was spotted scurrying around the cabin.
Passengers on the plane noticed the rodent on board mid-flight. A hunt for the creature began and even though it was not found, the pilot chose to return to Mumbai for passenger safety, the airline said.
An alternative plane was used to fly the passengers. Two other incidents are reported to have hit Air India flights in the past day. On one occasion, a pilot aborted take-off after a stray dog ran onto the runway. And another plane collided with a catering van at the Newark airport in New Jersey, US.
