For the second time in less than a month, a mouse has delayed a trans-Atlantic flight for Delta.

Both stowaways were spotted onboard planes about to take off from Kennedy International Airport as they departed for London Heathrow Airport.

On October 21, The Sun reported that 300 passengers had to evacuate a jet and wait three hours for a replacement plane because of a rodent sighting.

Then, Sunday night, 147 passengers were deplaned for around two and a half hours after someone caught sight of a mouse in the cabin.

According to the New York Times, officials told waiting passengers "a mouse could potentially chew through electrical wires and hydraulic lines, creating a safety hazard."
