NEW DELHI: Aviation regulator DGCA officials said on Sunday that a live bird was found in the cockpit of Air India Express' Bahrain-Kochi flight on July 15.


The bird was found in the glove compartment on the co-pilot's side when the plane reached an altitude of 37,000 feet. They said the plane landed safely in Kochi.


The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is investigating the incident, they mentioned. Prima facie, it looks like there was a ground handling lapse at a foreign station, the officials said while talking about the incident.


In another incident, Air India Express's Calicut-Dubai flight was diverted on July 16 to Muscat after a burning smell was observed in the cabin mid-air.


Air India Express did not respond to PTI's requests for a statement on the above two incidents.
