“Snake on a plane”
A domestic flight in Malaysia made an emergency landing when passengers on board the plane spotted a snake on the loose.
AirAsia confirmed a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau was diverted to Kuching when the pilot was alerted to the presence of a loose snake in the passenger compartment.
“This is a very rare incident which can occur on any aircraft from time to time,” Liong Tien Ling, AirAsia’s chief safety officer, said.
A video posted to TikTok shows the snake slithering through a light fixture in the overheard compartment of the plane.
The airline said staff searched the plane for the snake after landing in Kuching.
No injuries were reported.
