There’s been snakes on a plane, but what about snake heads?
A SunExpress flight attendant preparing to eat their in-flight meal last week claimed to have found a snake head in the tray.
The incident happened July 21 during a flight from Ankara, Turkey to Dusseldorf, Germany.
The crew member had already taken a few bites when the snake’s eyes caught their attention. Video was taken and shared with Turkish news site Gazete Duvar.
The slick reptile could be seen in the middle of the tray, sitting among the potatoes and other vegetables.
The company that provides the airline with its food, Sancak Inflight Services, denied that the snake head came from its kitchen due to strict protocols.
“We did not use any of the foreign objects that were supposedly in the food when cooking (due to the technical and thermal conditions used in the in-flight catering facilities),” the company said in a statement to flight site One Mile at a Time.
Sancak added that all the dishes are cooked at 280C, so the slimy snakehead, which appeared pretty fresh, must have been added after the meal came out of the oven.
The airline said a “detailed investigation” has been launched.
“It is our top priority that the services we provide to our guests on our aircraft are of the highest quality and that both our guests and employees have a comfortable and safe flight experience,” a SunExpress spokesperson said.
“The allegations and shares in the press regarding in-flight food service are absolutely unacceptable.”
