A domestic AirAsia flight from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur to Tawau, Sabah, was forced to divert on Thursday after passengers spotted a snake in an overhead compartment.
The airline confirmed, in a statement to local media outlets, “an incident” on board the flight after a TikTok user posted a video showing the silhouette of a snake moving slowly in what appears to be a plane’s luggage compartment.
“AirAsia is aware of an incident on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau on Thursday,” AirAsia’s chief safety officer Liong Tien Ling told Malay Mail. “As soon as the captain was aware, he made the decision to divert the aircraft to Kuching as a precautionary measure to fumigate the aircraft.
