NEW DELHI : An AirAsia India flight to Delhi had to abort its take-off at Goa airport on Sunday after a dog entered the runway when the plane was readying to depart, an official said.
Flight I5778 was set to depart around 8.25 am, the official of the Airports Authority of India said.
“The dog, once spotted by the Air Traffic Control, was immediately removed from the runway. The flight then departed at around 9.15 am,” the official added.
Commercial airline companies in Goa operate their planes from the civil enclave of INS Hansa, an airbase of the Indian Navy.
