SpiceJet's tryst with animals continues after yet another Chennai-bound SpiceJet plane from Ahmedabad, with 189 passengers and crew onboard, had to abort take off on Sunday after some monkeys were spotted on the runway.

They immediately informed the pilot of the plane and asked him to abort take off.

As the aircraft was taxiing at a low speed, the pilot rejected the take-off, they said.

Animal incursions not a new thing:


This is not the first time an animal related incident has taken place on an airport runway in India. According to a report in Times of India, twenty airports in India, including those in Varanasi, Kolkata, Srinagar, Patna, Bhubaneshwar, Ranchi etc are identified as vulnerable to animal incursions due to being in or close to areas with dense animal populations.
