What happened
A service cart loaded onto an Arkia flight from Greece to Israel was found infested with baby rats. The controversy centers on liability between the airline and Tel Aviv-based catering company TMM. Arkia states the cart came from TMM's dry-goods storage facility in Israel and contained no food, so there was no contact with passenger meals. The airline demands a thorough investigation from TMM. TMM rejects these claims, stating the cart contained only soft drinks and was inspected and approved by both an Arkia crew member and a TMM representative before departure. TMM asserts it is the airline's responsibility to inspect the cart and is prepared to take legal action
