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.

Animals usually break into the airport runways through gaps or breaches in airport boundaries/fences.


In January this year, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had audited these 20 airports and asked the Airport Authority of India to augment the safety precautions to protect the safety of passengers.

Just last year, a SpiceJet carrier had skidded off the runway in order to bypass a herd f wild boars on the airstrip.
