IndiGo Flight 6E784 From Surat to Jaipur Delayed As Swarm of Bees Settles Near Aircraft’s Luggage Door

An IndiGo flight from Surat to Jaipur experienced a one-hour delay on Monday, July 7, after a large swarm of bees settled on the aircraft's open luggage door.  A video of the bees covering the open luggage door as a fire engine arrives at the scene has gone viral. All passengers had boarded, and baggage was being loaded when the bees unexpectedly arrived. Initial attempts to disperse the insects with smoke failed, necessitating the intervention of the fire department. A fire engine arrived and started spraying water on the luggage door, finally making the bees leave. The Airbus A320 aircraft eventually took off for Jaipur at 5:26 PM.
