On Sunday, at Dubai International, in a plane that was about to fly to Oman, a snake was found. The airline announced the airplane was back in service following searches all over it.

The snake was found by baggage handlers. The serpent was in a cargo hold. It hasn’t been identified the species or whether it was poisonous or not.

The snake was found before people boarded, so nobody got scared.

Immediately after they found it, the staff canceled the flight to ensure that other snakes weren’t around too. After verification, the plane took off towards its destination.

Cases like this were encountered before. In a Mexican flight, last year, in November, a snake that dropped from the overhead compartments scared the passengers. The snake was about one-meter long. A passenger solved the situation, he captured the snake with magazines and a blanket.

In 2013, a snake was seen on the wing of a plane that traveled from Cairns to Port Moresby and then to Papua New Guinea. It was a python that was about 3 meters long. The flight took two hours, after it landed the staff found out that it had died.

In 2012, a plane that traveled from Mexico to Scotland contained a small snake. Animal protection officers were called to take care of the problem.

Other beings other than snakes made their way into planes too. Last year, in May, two tarantulas were seen on a flight from Punta Cana to the Dominican Republic and then Canada. The two must have escaped a passenger’s luggage. The spiders were then caught and nobody was injured.
