Feline vs. flight crew
Attempts to remove the cat turned into a game of cat-and-mouse. Every time the crew tried to catch it, the feline darted deeper into the plane’s wiring, making its extraction nearly impossible. Due to safety concerns, the airline had no choice but to cancel the flight.
For 48 hours, the crew monitored the cat’s movements by removing panels, fearing it might get stuck and cause a disaster mid-air. However, the fearless feline finally made its own exit calmly walking down the stairs and across the runway, as if it had just completed a routine inspection.
Not the first aerial Feline fiasco
This isn’t the first time a cat has disrupted a flight. In 2021, a plane traveling from Sudan to Qatar had to return to its departure point after a loose cat attacked the pilot mid-air.
