It's sort of scary how often we hear stories about Air India flights being diverted due to rats onboard. For example,this past Saturday an Air India Boeing 787 bound from Melbourne to Delhi was diverted to Singapore after a rat was spotted onboard.
It might sound like a joke, or like something out of Samuel L Jackson's "Snakes On A Plane" film, and but this actually has the potential to be very dangerous. It could be catastrophic whether a rat bit through an aircraft's wiring. It could lead to a loss of control,given that most planes have cruise-by-wire technology nowadays.
Fortunately it looks like Air India is finally taking their rat problem seriously, including their chairman personally carrying out an inspection at Delhi Airport, and also instructing the staff on proper protocols (admittedly him carrying out an inspection was probably more symbolic than anything,since it's probably not his area of expertise).
