New Delhi: Passengers on a GoAir flight from Ahmedabad to Jaipur were in for a bizarre experience as two pigeons managed to get into the plane’s cabin just before take-off. The incident, which took place on Friday, February 29, led to a delay of nearly thirty minutes.
In a video that has gone viral over social media, one passenger attempts to grab the flapping bird with his hands, only to fail. Meanwhile, the other fliers can be seen laughing and taking videos of the incident.
After quite a struggle and with the help of the cabin crew, the pigeons were driven out of the plane.
Speaking to ANI, a GoAir spokesperson said, “GoAir regrets any inconvenience caused to its passengers and requests the airport authorities to get rid of this menace.”
Large birds being a menace to flights are not uncommon as some of them even crash into the airplane engines.
