Thailand has suspended an airport worker after a traveller smuggled more than 30 live animals — including two baby otters — onto a flight to Taiwan.
The mobile menagerie, which also included 28 baby tortoises and a marmot, was seized when the Thai Vietjet flight landed at Taipei’s Taoyuan airport on Wednesday. Local media reported that the unusual cargo came to light when several of the animals escaped and were found crawling around the plane’s cabin.“We have examined the CCTV and found that the smugglers were two foreigners who had their luggage scanned through an X-ray machine,” the airport said in a statement issued late on Thursday.
“One of the staff was suspicious so they assigned another to open the luggage. However, they didn’t check the luggage and allowed the passengers to go through.” The staff member who failed to inspect the bag properly was suspended while a probe was carried out, the airport said.An official of the China Power Engineering Consulting Group Co., Ltd. said the Philippines has a massive potential in...A US man who groped a sleeping passenger on a plane was jailed Thursday for nearly two years.
