Hyderabad: A Newark-bound Air India flight from New Delhi returned back midway on May 27 after a bat was seen flying inside the business class area of the plane, just half an hour after the taking off.
The bizarre incident came to light the next day.
The Boeing 777 passenger jet made an emergency landing after the crew informed the Air Traffic Control about the fruit bat’s presence in the plane.
A video of the bat flying around in the business class area of the plane has now surfaced online in a major embarrassment to the Air India authorities.
