The Tata Group-owned Air India flight was delayed by more than an hour from Srinagar airport. Airport officials said the delay was due to a rat inside the plane. The flight is said to have taken off after the rat was removed from the plane.

Rat on the plane

The Air India flight scheduled to depart from Srinagar Airport at 2.15 pm last Thursday was announced to be delayed by an hour. The passengers were thus shocked. A Srinagar airport official said a rat was spotted on the flight.

According to the flight schedule, the Air India flight was scheduled to depart from Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir at 2:15 pm, but was delayed by an hour to 3:20 pm.

Airport officials said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation of India (DGCA) has launched an investigation into the incident.

Last year

In May last year, it was reported that a bat was found in the middle of an Air India flight. An Air India flight from Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi to Newark was found to have a bat inside the plane within 30 minutes of take-off. The pilot then returned to Delhi.

The plane then began its journey after wildlife conservation staff caught a bat on board. Many people are talking about the delay of 1 hour in the Air India flight due to the presence of a rat yesterday.
