DUBAI - An Emirates flight from Dubai to Muscat was cancelled after baggage handlers discovered a snake in the aircraft's cargo hold.
The animal was found before Sunday's flight from Dubai International, the airline said in a statement, adding that the aircraft was returned to service after being thoroughly searched.
First class passengers on an Aeromexico flight in November were confronted by a snake that fell from an overhead storage compartment. Nobody was hurt in the incident but a few passengers were rattled.
