Delhi: A London-bound Air India flight aborted take-off at Delhi airport after swarm of ants were found in aircraft’s business class. Bhutan’s crown prince was also on board.
Air India's flight, A1-111 from New Delhi to London aborted take-off Monday after ants were found in the business class section.
The A1-111 was about to take off from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport before Air India decided to switch the planes following complain of insects in the business class.
As per Air India, the aircraft was in the passenger bay when the complaint was made.
The Prince of Bhutan, Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck, the son and heir apparent of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan was on board flight AI-111 with other passengers.
However, Air India later changed the aircraft.
Earlier in May, a bat on an Air India flight from Delhi to Newark, US had caused the plane to return to the IGI airport. It happened after the pilot reported to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) the presence of a bat onboard the aircraft.
