Sudanese plane returns to airport because of a cat

A Sudanese plane bound for Qatar had to return to Khartoum airport after the unexpected appearance of an aggressive cat in the cockpit, reports Al Sudani.

A cat suddenly appearing in the cockpit forced a Sudanese airline Tarco plane from Khartoum to Doha to return to the airport, Al Sudani newspaper reports.

According to the media outlet, the pilots noticed the cat half an hour after takeoff. The feline was preventing them from doing their job and even tried to attack the chief cabin attendant.

The cat would have infiltrated on board the night before takeoff while the plane was in a hangar, during cleaning work or a technical inspection, according to the newspaper.
