Air India flight turns back over rat scare, Report

Rat aboard Air India flight causes plane to turn back.

A plane heading from Mumbai to London was forced to return midflight after a rat was spotted on board, reports said.

Air India flight AI-131 was flying over Tehran when a passenger saw the rodent running around the cabin, the Times of India reported on Thursday.

The pilot turned the plane back to Mumbai as a “precautionary measure” in case the rat had gnawed through any electrical wiring or aircraft controls.

The 256 passengers on the flight on Wednesday continued on their journey later on a replacement aircraft.

In another incident on Wednesday, a stray dog on the runway forced an Air India flight to Dubai to abort takeoff from the northern city of Amritsar, the IANS news agency reported.
