In a bizarre incident coming to light from Kolkata Airport, a snake was found within an Indigo flight before its scheduled departure to Mumbai.
Perhaps the snake wanted an @IndiGo6E flight as a belated 15th birthday offer yesterday.

Soon after, the ground staff cleared the area and alerted airport authorities. Local authorities alerted the Forest Department, who then took away the snake back to its environment.
Officials predict that the snake may have gotten into the plane during baggage removal after arriving from Raipur. They clarified that this was a non-poisonous rat snake.
Passengers were yet to board the aircraft when the incident occurred. They were later flown to Mumbai on a different aircraft, the report said.
