“Uninvited Guests Delay Flight: Mosquitoes Cause Mayhem Aboard Plane Bound to Mexico City”
Passengers onboard a Viva Aerobus flight bound for Mexico City from Guadalajara were left scratching their heads, arms, legs, and every exposed body part after their flight was delayed for more than two hours. The reason? A major mosquito infestation!
As per reports coming in, the plane was taken over by these tiny winged vampires, who have made themselves feel right at home in the cabin, causing chaos and panic among passengers. The airline’s officials, putting on a straight face, have cited this as an “unforeseen and rare circumstance,” as if saying the words would make it any truer.
Imagine being a fly, or should I say, mosquito, on that plane wall! A free ride to a new city, and a chance to bite and suck the blood out of humans, all while buzzing around, carefree. Oh wait, that would be a living nightmare, but who cares, right? As long as the passengers, stewards, and pilot can’t ignore you, you’ve made it!
The airline’s response to the mosquito menace was fumigation, which was met with widespread skepticism by the passengers. They noted that the crew was using a weak-smelling spray that was unlikely to make the mosquitoes go away, whereas they had already used environmental-friendly cleaning solutions in the past.
Passengers were understandably agitated by the delay, but some found it amusing, given that the airline had offered them a “free blood transfusion and malaria test kit” as compensation. Oh, how kind of them to offer such a thoughtful gesture.
One passenger, who wished to remain anonymous, shared how he had fooled around with the mosquitoes, according to him, “Two hours of captivity with a bunch of bloodsuckers is not what I had signed up for when I booked this flight. So, I tried to make the best out of it. I started playing games with them. One mosquito landed on my hand, the other on my elbow, and then a third one on my forehead. I tried to count them, but then they came in droves, and all I could do was wave my hands around like a madman.”
Another passenger, who was overheard making mosquito puns, said, “It was like a scene out of Jurassic Park. First, the T-Rex, now the mosquitoes. What’s next?”
As the fumigation crews worked, many passengers chose to take matters into their own hands. Some of them, armed with magazines and newspapers, began swatting the insects, which resulted in a gentle symphony of clapping and smacking sounds.
Finally, after two hours of waiting, the flight was cleared to take off, but not before the airline handed out complimentary mosquito repellent to the passengers. One wonders how much of those elixirs were used outside the aircraft, with the mosquitoes having such a gala time inside.
Reportedly, the airline has issued a statement apologizing for the inconvenience caused to the passengers, saying that they were taking all the necessary steps to ensure that such an incident does not occur again. But we all know how much those words have mattered in the past.
In conclusion, let’s hope that the airline will take a cue from this incident and improve the conditions of their aircraft. And also hope that the next time these pesky mosquitoes choose Viva Aerobus as their travel partner, the airline will have a better solution than a weak spray to keep them at bay.
