A Southwest Airlines flight almost gained momentum from a Taxibane at Orlando International Airport on Thursday 20 March, according to news messages from Southwestern airline and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Dachshunds are used to get from gates and hangars to paths. The dachshund runs in parallel with the track and is not designed for the start.

“Nothing is more important southwest than the safety of our customers and employees,” Southwest said in Thursday’s statement.
