An AirAsia flight from Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur to Tawau was forced to divert and make an unscheduled landing at Kuching, after a snake was spotted within the central cabin lighting.
A TikTok showing the snake illuminated by the cabin lighting, released by a user named E-dal Tay (@edal8808), quickly went viral. The video now has more than 2 million views and 91,900 likes.
Hana Mohsin Khan, a commercial pilot, later shared a video on Twitter showing the snake, which remained where it was until the plane was rerouted.
"Yikes! Snake on a plane! Either an escaped pet from passenger carry on/luggage or possibly climbed its way into the aircraft from the ground," wrote Hana, in a tweet dated February 12 about Air Asia Airbus A320-200, Kuala Lumpur to Tawau.
"This dude happily stayed inside the illuminated area till plane was diverted."
