Plane passengers are nearly always of the human variety, with the odd exception. Yet last week two distinctly non-human travellers attempted to sneak onboard a flight in India. Two pigeons were filmed flying around the cabin of a GoAir aircraft in a shocking viral video.
Some passengers even reach up their hands in an attempt to catch the avian stowaways.
Multiple travellers get to their feet to film the bizarre episode.
The plane was at Ahmedabad International Airport in India when the incident took place.
It was due to depart for Jaipur at 5pm on Friday.

After the footage was shared on social media, Go Air – an Indian low-cost airline – responded on Twitter.
They said they would investigate, tweeting: “We understand this was not the travel experience you were hoping for and we’re sorry.”
In another tweet, GoAir explained that crew successfully got the pigeons off the plane.
“We would like to inform you that our crew immediately got the birds removed from the aircraft,” wrote the airline.
Social media users took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the video.
“Wonder why a pigeon would need to board a flight when it can fly for free!” one person commented.
“Absolutely crazy scenes in the @goairlines as 2 pigeons were found inside the plane.
Another added: “Seems they were tired of flying by their own.”
