A Delhi-Mumbai Air India flight was forced to delay its landing on Saturday evening after airport officials sighted a dog on the main runway.

“At 6.30 pm, our safety officers sighted a dog going towards the main runway. They immediately alerted Air Traffic Control (ATC), which asked flight IC 863 to wait till the runway was cleared,” said a Mumbai airport spokesperson after confirming the incident.

The dog was sighted just before the flight was to land. The flight eventually landed at the airport at 7.06 pm instead of 6.35 pm.
