The Simian Menace

News
Written By Dan Parsons

There's more whacky animal-airport news this week. This time, its India with a rampaging group of monkeys sending aircraft on go-arounds! This story has got the works - poor planning in the placement of a garbage dump nearby, the hard work being done by airport staff to mitigate the risk as best they can and the need for a coordinated response with some success.

Despite this, I continue to pledge my allegiance to the reptilian conspiracy attacking airports in the US and Australia.
