Now, a monkey disrupts a flight at Ahmedabad airport

Here's yet another example of the nation's seventh busiest airport being virtually turned into a menagerie!

On Monday morning once again a monkey was spotted at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The animal came in the way of an aircraft which was taking off and the airport got disrupted for almost an hour.

"At 10 am there was panic on the runway. The air traffic controllers (ATC) saw the monkey which was roving at the runway number 3. The aircraft was taking off that time and the pilot had to remain still for almost 30 minutes. Finally, he was instructed to go around the monkey," said an airport official.

According to officials, they took the safety measures to control the situation. But for nearly an hour air services got disrupted. It is to be noted that it's not a rare incident at the airport.

In fact, dogs, snakes, rats, birds and many other creatures have given the airport the look of an exotic zoo!

"This is a very serious problem. The Airport Authority of India is not responsible alone for such a situation. There are other local organizations which are supposed to help us but they are not doing well enough," said a senior airport official.

It's worth mentioning that the aforementioned creatures are often sighted on runways. On many occasions the animals put the flight schedules into disarray.
