An unwelcome passenger a rat - forced Air-India to cancel its flight to Riyadh on Wednesday night, airport sources in Kochi said on Friday.
The cabin crew noticed the rodent scurrying around the plane just as it was about to take off from the Nedumbassery International Airport.
When all efforts to nab it failed, the flight was cancelled and the passengers asked to disembark. After a thorough fumigation, the rodent was found dead.
