Mosquitoes takes over entire plane

That’s one itchy ride.

A recent IndiGo flight from Lucknow to Delhi in India had some unexpected guests that caused fliers to become extremely itchy — and irritated.

During a flight that departed the day after Easter, passengers had to endure a swarm of mosquitoes that were buzzing around and causing annoyance. Throughout the nearly 90-minute journey, travelers had to continuously swat at the bothersome insects.

Manisha Pande, one of the passengers, recounted her experience stating, “The whole flight was spent scratching, swatting and just praying for the flight to get over,” as reported by Jam Press.

Regrettably, the cabin crew was at a loss on how to handle the situation, with their only solution being to provide lemongrass remedies in an attempt to repel the mosquitoes and prevent them from biting the passengers. Understandably, the passengers were left feeling frustrated by the ordeal.

“Airlines don’t care, airports can’t manage basic pest control, and passengers are just expected to take it quietly,” said Pande.

How did these bugs make their way onto the plane? Supposedly, the in-flight crew said they entered through an open door, according to Luxury Travel Daily.

An open door on a flight or an army of mosquitoes — what’s more concerning?

“It’s not just bad service, it’s a systemic rot,” the frustrated flier whined.

“We take your onboard experience seriously and strive to make every journey comfortable and pleasant,” a rep for IndiGo said, according to Jam Press.

“To prevent the entry of mosquitoes, our aircraft undergo regular fumigation, and patches are placed on seats.”

The rep continued saying, “We’re also coordinating with the airport to address this effectively. “While we take every precaution, we hope you understand that mosquitoes can still enter through open doors.”

However, many disgruntled fliers weren’t buying this.

“Strange. Just four days ago, I flew from Lucknow to Mumbai with IndiGo, but it was mosquito-free. Lucknow itself, though, was infested,” added someone else.

Another passenger tried to make light of the situation: “Those mosquitoes will now need to start a new family and life at the new location after the flight. Sad.”

This sadly, is not the first time pesky mosquitoes have made their way onto a full flight.

Last fall, mosquitoes infiltrated a flight headed from Morelia, Mexico, to Los Angeles, California.

Surprisingly, the “exorbitant amount of mosquitoes” did not stop the plane from taking off as planned.

Footage from this incident showed the annoying bugs on the ceiling in the back of the plane as passengers boarded.
