Watch: swarm of bees settles near IndiGo aircraft's luggage door delaying Surat-Jaipur flight
An IndiGo flight headed to Jaipur from Surat suffered an hour's delay after a swarm of bees settled near the aircraft's luggage door. According to reports, all passengers had boarded the Airbus A320 aircraft, and the bees caught people's attention while the luggage was being loaded. The viral video, recorded from inside the aircraft, shows a swarm of bees resting on the open luggage door. A fire engine scurried to the runway to remove the bees and clear the door. Reports indicated that smoke was initially used to disperse the bees but it proved to be ineffective. The fire engine then sprayed water to remove them. After the issue was addressed, the flight managed to take off after an hour's delay. Watch the viral video here: A post shared by The Indian Express (@indianexpress) 'We informed the airport's fire team. They used a jet of water from a fire tender to remove the bees from the open shutter,' the Times of India quoted an airport official as saying. Similar incidents were reported in 2019 and 2020 when swarms of bees delayed two separate Air India flights at Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport. While in 2019, the bees sat near the cockpit window of a Boeing 737, the following year, the insects gathered near the cargo hold of an aircraft. In 2023, a Delta Airlines flight from Houston to Atlanta in the US was delayed by a swarm of bees that gathered on one of the wings of the aircraft. The authorities took three hours to remove the bees, eventually allowing the flight to take off.
