Passengers bitten: Nasty wood bugs paralyze airport

Nothing works anymore at several gates of Honolulu airport.

Bed bugs are annoying little creatures. But they never succeeded in closing an entire airport. But that’s what happened at Honolulu Airport, as reported by the Aerotelegraph.com portal. The exterminators’ first attempt to destroy the parasites was unsuccessful.

The Aerotelegraph.com portal writes that saliva from bedbug bites causes itching and redness in humans. Small animals are tough. Their average lifespan is six to twelve months. Airlines have also struggled with them in the past. In 2018, for example, Air India had to take two Boeing 777s out of service for two days for a thorough cleaning. Reason: many passengers complained of insect bites. Airlines such as Swiss and British Airways were also affected.

Heavy artillery against parasites

Door cleaning was a complete fiasco. Just a day later, Southwest Airline contacted authorities and said the faults were still there. The authority then took samples, and indeed they were again little bloodsuckers. Airport operators closed three doors and attacked the parasites with heavy artillery.

And with a highly effective bug spray. Even the carpets on the doors have been replaced. Cleanup efforts will continue over the next three weeks to finally put an end to bedbugs. (be)
