Small rodents have been wandering around on a TAP plane for several days. Cute ? No doubt. Funny ? A little. Except for the airline Air Portugal, which is deprived of an Airbus A320 because of the spectacular escape of 132 hamsters.
According to an article in Morning Mail spotted by BFMTV, this plane has been grounded since last Tuesday due to the presence of small animals throughout the cabin. According to our colleagues, the 132 rodents escaped from the box in which they had been placed for this trip between Lisbon and the Azores. Except that the box was damaged and the animals left.
As of Saturday, 16 of the 132 rodents were still being sought by the airline, whose plane was still at Ponta Delgada airport. Their presence on board poses the risk of electrical damage.
A delivery for a pet store
According to our colleagues, these hamsters had been transported at the request of a pet store on the island, which had placed orders for hamsters but also birds and ferrets. A cargo which had first been refused on another flight before being loaded into the A320. Regrettably, one might think.
