Fliers, who had boarded the flight at the Surat International Airport by then, were kept waiting and the airport staff frenzied as bees stuck to one part of the luggage door opening of the flight.

Videos taken from inside the flight are now viral on the internet. They showed numerous bees stuck to the flight, and many others flying above it.

Passengers had reportedly boarded the flight by then, making it even more tricky for the airport authorities to decide on the next steps.

The flight was delayed, as it could not take off with an open luggage door. According to an NDTV report, smoke was first used to shoo away the bees, but it did not work. Finally, a fire engine was called to spray water on the luggage door, which finally pushed the bees off the door.

The flight took off after the delay, following standard clearance, the publication further reported.

The IndiGo flight, 6E-7267, was supposed to take off for Jaipur from the Surat International Airport at 4:20 pm, but departed after a significant delay, at 5:26 pm, a Patrika report said.
