Mangalore: Bees at the Mangalore airport delayed the takeoff of a Dubai flight by 45 minutes on Friday.
Sources said ground staff detected the presence of honeybees near the tip of the Air India Express aircraft wing during a pre-departure check. The aircraft had arrived from Dubai on Thursday and parked on the apron overnight for 14 hours. During this time, a swarm of bees built a hive there.
The AIE authorities got the hive removed from the aircraft wing before giving the green light for the takeoff.
