"I was on the LM156 from Stornoway to Inverness at 5pm when the aircraft was taxiing towards the runway when all of a sudden the brakes went on like an emergency stop!" tweeted a passenger onboard the flight. "After a minute the captain came over the radio telling us that he was waiting on a baby hedgehog to pass," he added.
"The captain safely avoided a prickly situation for the little hedgehog, following procedure until the animal was off the tarmac," the director of the airline.
