The delay of the Houston-to-Atlanta trip was made to ensure the welfare of the bees and to ensure no critical surfaces were compromised by the insects, dead or alive.
Initially, a bee keeper was set to come and help remove the bees from the plane. However, for safety reasons, beekeepers were not allowed to touch the plane, nor was pest control allowed to spray the aircraft, Ms. Enjeti tweeted.
George Bush Intercontinental Airport, meanwhile, did not have a long enough hose available to spray the bees with water. Attempts to blow vehicle exhaust onto the wing tip to get the bees to leave didn’t work.decided to give the gate to another plane. However, the bees left when the bee-infested aircraft’s engine was turned on and the plane pushed back from the gate.
Both the plane and the flight’s 92 passengers were moved to another gate, where they were allowed to board.
