‘Pigeon impossible’: Birds are closed without boarding passes, delaying delta flight twice; Watch

In a scene, which could be picked up directly from a comedy film, a delta air lines flight were delayed twice on Saturday, not by weather or technical glits, but by a pair of pigeons, which decided to take up their air adventure inside the cabin.The delta flight 2348, bound to Madison, Visconsin, had just started boarding at Minoriapolis -cent Paul International Airport, when the first winged intruders were seen fluttering through the aircraft.“A passenger told the flight attendant that there was a pigeon on the aircraft,” recalled Tom Cod, who documented a bizarre encounter on Instagram. “The pilot climbed on the mike and confirmed it. He said that he had no experience with this situation.”Pigeon 1: First FlapIn a video footage, a passenger can be seen trying to catch the pigeon with his jacket as it was surprised and dart above the heads of a little shocking passengers.Eventually, the ground crew climbed the Airbus A220 and removed the bird. The cabin burst into a thunderous applause.A young passenger also asked if she could make it a pet.But as soon as the aircraft took away from the gate, finally ready to depart, pigeon number two made a dramatic entry. Pigeon 2: Sequel“This is my video that is flying through the cabin,” CAW posted. “It was caught, and we returned to the gate. The pilot gave a radio to the control tower and told them that we were coming back due to a pigeon – again. The man said that it was the first for him. The pilot replied that it was his second pigeon of the night.”Once again, the baggage handler came to the rescue, to capture the other bird and restore the order. Neither the pigeon was damaged.Delta later confirmed the incident, saying that the flight was delayed by 56 minutes and the works of both the passengers and the crew were appreciated.The airline said in a statement to ABC News, “We appreciate the careful tasks of our people and our customers to safely remove two birds from the aircraft before departure, and we apologize to our customers for delay in our journey.”Very small for snacksAccording to data from flightaware.com, Udaan eventually fulfilled its small hope for Madison with 119 passengers and five crew members.Caw, examining in the Street, jokingly said that perhaps pigeons preferred the comfort of commercial flight to flutter their own wings.“My guess is that the pigeons were tired of flying and wanted snacks,” he took a pinch. “They did not know that it is very low for delta to offer flight drinks/snack service to MSN.”
