DENVER (KDVR) — Ginger Thompson and Breezy, her year-old Bengal cat, flew to Denver from Washington for a cat competition. While boarding their Southwest flight home Sunday, Breezy got out of her carrier. “They were getting me on the plane rushing me, and I set her down to get ready to put her under the seat, put my backpack up into the overhead bin, and was sort of jostled,” Thompson said. Did you know Denver is one of the freshest non-coastal places you can get fish? Thompson said she isn't sure how the latch broke. But when the carrier opened up, Breezy jumped out. Thompson tried to catch Breezy, but the cat fell between the airplane door and jet bridge onto the tarmac. “I saw her fall and she sort of tried to claw to stay up, but the momentum just took her down.

Thompson said she was ushered off the flight and has received little help from Southwest or the airport since the incident. “There’s been...

DIA spokesperson Stephanie Figueroa told FOX31 it's "in the airport's best interest to find the highest and best use of our property while supporting our primary mission as an airport."According to DIA, a high non-aeronautical revenue helps to lower operating costs for the airport and airline partners.
