Air passengers hit by stray dog tax

Air passengers are facing a new tax at India's New Delhi airport - to pay for dog catchers to trap packs of strays who chase planes.

Air traffic experts estimate that as many as five flights a day are delayed by dogs running after planes on the tarmac as they try to take off.



"In most places dogs just chase cars.

"Here they like a bit more of a challenge," said one airport worker.
