Bed bugs on board Air India planes have allegedly resulted in flights being temporarily grounded on the Mumbai-Newark (US) route. Business class passengers flying from Newark Liberty Airport to Mumbai last week reportedly complained about the biting critters.
Kashmira Tonsekar made the grisly discovery after her younger daughter complained of a rash when travelling back to India after a family trip in the US. According to stuff, Tonsekar had seen a bed bug on her husband’s seat before setting off, but dismissed it thinking it was simply a common insect. Tonsekar alerted cabin crew, who proceeded to spray the area with an insect repellent.
After a short while, more bugs began to emerge from the seat in question and adjacent seats, claimed Tonsekar. Tonsekar’s husband, Pravin Tonsekar, tweeted Air India to express his grievance: “All our seats infested with bed bugs. Sir, [I] have heard of bed bugs on trains but shocked to experience on our maharaja and that too business.”
