GoAir passengers—travelling from Ahmedabad to Jaipur—were in shock to spot two pigeons flying inside the aircraft.

The entire incident was caught on camera as the video went viral on social media.

In the video, the pigeons were seen flying from one of the end plane to the other as crew members and passengers tried to duck and avoid it.

Some, even, tried to catch the birds but failed to do so. Excited passengers got up from their seats to witness the scenario while someone suggested the crew to open the backdoor of the plane so that the pigeon could fly out.

Twitter user, Nirnay Kapoor, shared the video and wrote: “#Shocking Jaipur at the Ahmedabad airport grappling with the problem of bird-hit on 28 February, standing ready to fly @goairlinesindia Two pigeons entered the plane. Due to bird-hit here a few days ago #goair The fire engine of the aircraft had caught fire. @indiatvnews @AAI_Official @DGCAIndia.”
