As a rule, weather conditions or technical issues lead to flight delays. But not this time. Way too slow but steady caused a delay of the flight. <\/strong><\/p>\n

A very extraordinary delay has happened recently. The flight from Australia\u2019s Gold Coast to Adelaide operated by Jetstar Airways<\/a> had a delay. It happened due to a turtle. It is hard to believe but it\u2019s really so. The turtle was crossing the tarmac.<\/p>\n

According to the passengers of the flight the plane was beginning to taxi but it had to stop for approximately four minutes. And it was done in order to let a tiny turtle safely cross and go its way. The little turtle was making its way to the creek located close to the airport.<\/p>\n

The representative of Jetstar airline company claims it to have been not the first time with the turtle crossing the tarmac. So, it was no surprise this time. The very turtle had done the same a but earlier the very day. And it was the turtle\u2019s second try to cross the tarmac.<\/p>\n

Therefore the measures were taken. And as a result, the turtle was taken to much safer place after the pilot had informed the air traffic control. Now the turtle is safe and sound and does not make any attempts to cross the tarmac.<\/p>\n
