The flight from Surat to Jaipur got delayed by 1 hour due to a swarm of bees at Surat Airport in Gujarat. It so happened that Indigo flight 6E784 was to take off from Surat to Jaipur at 4.20 pm on Monday. All the passengers had boarded the plane. Their luggage was being loaded, when thousands of bees came and sat in a swarm at the luggage gate of the plane. The airport staff ran away to save themselves from the bees. Everyone thought that the bees would fly away on their own, but it did not happen. After this, smoke was used to drive them away. That too did not help. After this, the bees were removed using a strong stream of water. Due to all this, the flight remained stationary at the airport for about an hour. When everything became normal, the flight was allowed to take off.
