What is the first thing that comes to your mind after listening to chhota packet bada dhamaka? For me, the answer is bees. I am scared of these tiny winged insects and they recently grabbed everyone’s attention in a surprising turn of events. On Friday, a swarm of bees surrounded and attacked an IndiGo flight at Mumbai airport. The aircraft was scheduled to take off for Bareily in the morning.
Mumbai-Bareilly IndiGo Flight Delayed Due To A Bee Attack
Relaxed Awareness 😌 (@NischalBhasin) made an X post sharing visuals of these insects surrounding the aircraft this morning.
According to information provided in the X post, bees attacked Flight 6E 5316 at the Mumbai airport. The Bareilly-bound plane was scheduled to depart at 10:40 AM on Friday. However, the shocking incident changed the plan and the flight faced an unexpected delay. Videos and pictures making rounds on social media platforms show a swarm of bees flying close to the plane with many of them swarming on the windows.
Gladly, these insects did not sting any passenger or cabin crew member. According to a report by Onmanorama, the crew shut the aircraft door as fast as possible. Not a single bee could enter inside and attack directly on the flyers. These tiny insects swarmed everywhere outside the plane and passengers even saw the main beehive on the TajSATS catering van.
The concerned authorities promptly headed to the location to resolve this major issue. The fire brigade rushed to the spot and sprayed water on the swarm of bees. They successfully removed all the bees from the IndiGo flight to Bareilly and later the pilots commenced the journey. The aircraft departed from Mumbai airport at around 1:20 PM.
IndiGo Gave Goodies To Passengers
The X user praised the airline for its services and mentioned that they provided cute little goodie bags to passengers during the recent long flight delay. Also, the passenger highlighted that the crew onboard was very polite and took care of every passenger, especially anxious flyers on the flight.
Have you faced any such unusual incidents while travelling with an airline?
