Flight journeys aren’t easy, no matter how much hi-fi airline you opt for there is some kind of inconvenience that makes it way to discomfort you but at least it gives you the surety of reaching the destination quickly.
Apart from the common problem of leg space, have you ever thought of being hounded by mosquitoes while on the flight? The nightmare of many went real for the passengers of IndiGo flight recently and in the Dhaka flight, they experienced the same thing amid their journey.
A video from the flight was shared and is now going viral on social media. IndiGo has however acknowledged the issue and said they keep mosquito bats and squatters to tackle them.
The IndiGo flight was going from Dhaka to Kolkata. The video from the flight shows the air hostesses holding the mosquito killer bat and swatting the insects. The passengers were seen annoyed and fanning themselves with newspapers to keep the mosquitoes away.
A person tweeted the same video and asked IndiGo about the issue, to which they replied that they do acknowledge and take preventive measures to reduce passenger discomfort.

Subbu, we acknowledge this issue. While insects/mosquitoes can’t be completely guarded against, we take preventive measures like regular spraying of insecticide & placing mosquito repellent patches to minimise the discomfort. 1/2

In exceptional circumstances, we also use mosquito bats to remove the mosquitoes. 2/2 ~Kritika

This is not the first time that this issue has occurred, last year in April 2018, a doctor raised a complaint of discomfort of mosquitos but when he got into an argument with the staff, he was deplaned for using threatening language. Later, the airline paid money to settle the dispute of these issues.
From May last year, the airline service had decided to get mosquito swatters on planes to deal with the problem.
