Stowaway cat survives flight from Athens to Zurich, endures freezing temperatures...

A flight from Athens to Zurich was delayed for two hours on Wednesday after a cat stowed away in the undercarriage.

The animal survived freezing temperatures and a shortage of oxygen in the plane’s undercarriage to emerge the worse for wear from the aircraft in Kloten.

The black and white moggie is now being cared for by a vet.

The Blick newspaper reported that the takeoff of flight LX 1843 from Athens had been delayed as staff searched for the cat seen prowling around the plane before its departure.

The aircraft landed in Kloten at 10.21am instead of at 8.20am as scheduled.

“A cat was prowling around the Airbus A321 in Athens. Suddenly it vanished,” said Swiss airline spokeswoman Myriam Ziesack.

 “Ground staff thought it had got into the undercarriage, but after two hours of searching they still hadn’t found it,” said Ziesack. Full story...
