In a bid to control the menace posed by mosquitoes to passengers in flights, IndiGo has decided to have electronic swatters on its planes. Reportedly, each plane will have two battery-operated, racquet-shaped mosquito 'bats' or swatters on flights from this month. The cabin crew members will use the same inside the flight to kill the insects, except during the time the plane is refuelling. The batteries of these gadgets will be changed at airports, according to The Economic Times report.
An IndiGo official said that flights were delayed and there have been many passenger complaints due to mosquitoes. The airlines also said that before departure of the flights preventive measures such as placing mosquito repellent patches and spraying approved insecticides before departure are done on a regular basis. “The electronic bats [swatters] will be used only in exceptional circumstances and not as a regular practice,” an IndiGo spokesperson told ET.
Kolkata, Lucknow, Varanasi, and Chandigarh are some of the airports where the mosquito menace is prominent. To deal with the situation, airlines have used regulator-approved repellents in the airports as well.
