An Air India flight that had taken off from Mumbai for London on Wednesday returned to Mumbai due to a “suspected” sighting of a rat on board.
It said engineers were looking into the claims, “though the presence of the rodent was not confirmed”.
Passengers continued their journey on a replacement aircraft some time later. “They often hitch rides on food catering trucks that store the flight meal trays”.
Air India said Under the New Year Special offer, passengers will get an all-inclusive one-way fare of Rs 5,016 for travel between the metros on flights departing between 8 pm on December 31, and 8 am on January 1.
“Generally, after all passengers have board, an aircraft is “sealed” and inert gas sprayed to ensure there are no rodents scurrying around”, one of the aviation officials added. “We have asked urgently for a report”. The stand-by aircraft finally left at 6:30 pm last evening, nearly 12 hours after the initial departure.
