A Bird’s nest was found in a wing of an Air India’s aircraft right before takeoff from Mumbai Airport.

An Air India flight AI2354 from Mumbai to Bangkok was delayed over three hours after a bird’s nest was found inside the aircraft’s wing just before takeoff from Mumbai Airport on June 25.

The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 7:45 AM, faced a hold as ground staff carefully removed the nest made of grass and sticks.
