Birds Ground Delta Flight: Passengers Film Avian Stowaways

Delta Flight Delayed After Birds Attempt to Stow Away on Plane A Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis to Madison, Wisconsin, experienced an unusual delay on May 24th. Passengers aboard the flight captured video footage of two birds flying freely within the aircraft's cabin. The unexpected avian stowaways prompted the pilot to return to the gate, resulting in an approximate one-hour delay. "I've never seen anything like it," commented one passenger on social media. "It was quite a spectacle, and although it was a bit unnerving at first, everyone remained calm." Ground crews safely removed the birds, and Delta Air Lines issued an apology for the inconvenience caused by the delay. The incident highlights the occasional unexpected challenges faced in air travel and the preparedness of airline staff to handle such situations. The incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of wildlife and its potential impact on air travel, even on major airlines like Delta.
