Holiday travelers were in for an uninvited guest on a flight headed for a sunny destination.<\/p>\n

Passengers traveling from Amsterdam to the Caribbean<\/a> spotted a rat running through their cabin.<\/p>\n

The KLM flight was headed for Aruba, where it was then supposed to continue to the island of Bonaire.<\/p>\n

Passengers waiting to board their flight to Bonaire were notified that the flight had been grounded \u2014 with the ride ultimately canceled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A KLM spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that this was a “very exceptional incident.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The safety and well-being<\/a> of our passengers and crew are always our top priority,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“That is why we canceled the flight<\/a> from Aruba [to] Bonaire,” the spokesperson added, “so that the aircraft could be thoroughly cleaned before being put back into service.”<\/p>\n

In a video shared on social media<\/a>, people called the rat “massive.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0It was seen scurrying across the overhead curtain track in the cabin.<\/p>\n

Rats can pose a serious risk to public health by spreading diseases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Threats include bacterial and viral diseases such as monkeypox, leptospirosis and salmonellosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n

The rodents can also cause rat-bite fever (RBF), which can produce flu-like symptoms<\/a> such as fever, vomiting, muscle pain and possible rashes.<\/p>\n

“RBF can spread to people through scratches, bites, or contact with a rodent’s saliva or pee,” the CDC notes.<\/p>\n

Back in 2023, a rat and an otter were smuggled into a passenger’s suitcase on a flight from Bangkok to Taiwan, as Fox News Digital reported<\/a> at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An employee caught the rat \u2014 and was bitten on the hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
