A severed snake head was discovered in an in-flight meal
The reptile's face was clearly recognisable after it was filmed glistening on a meal tray by an air steward on a SunExpress flight from Turkey to Germany last week.
The budget airline has confirmed that it will conduct an investigation into how the snake head ended up in the meal.
SunExpress told the flight website One Mile at a Time: "It is our top priority that the services we provide to our guests on our aircraft are of the highest quality and that both our guests and employees have a comfortable and safe experience.
"The allegations and shares in the press regarding in-flight food service are absolutely unacceptable and a detailed investigation has been initiated on the subject.
"Until the research process in question is concluded, all preventative measures and actions, including stopping the supply of the relevant product, have been taken immediately."
