A snake on a plane



A snake in Emirate airline passenger palne.



The serpent was found before Sunday’s flight from Dubai International, the airline said during a statement, adding that the airplane “EK0863” was returned to service after being wholly searched.

A representative for the airline – as quoted by Dubai-based media – said the snake was found before passengers boarded the plane.

The representative said Emirates apologised to the passengers for the inconvenience caused.


The airplane re-entered service after the snake was removed, the airline said.

Wild animals do appear on traveler planes from time to time, sometimes even in the cabins.

In might last year, two tarantulas that most likely escaped from a passenger’s baggage caused panic on an Air Transat flight from Punta Cana, in the Caribbean Island of the Dominican republic, to Montreal, Canada, The Guardian reported.


No traveler was hurt in the incident. Both spiders were later caught, one during the flight and the different once the plane landed.


Also in November 2016, some passengers on a Mexico flight were panic-stricken by the appearance of a metre-long snake which dropped from the overhead compartments.
