A bed bug infestation is sweeping around many cities in Europe and has soared in recent weeks. Passengers will be carrying them onto aircraft adding to the bed bugs which have been seen inside cabins for years making the problem on aircraft worse.

Bed bugs can be found on aircraft, but it is relatively rare. Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are known to infest places where people congregate or spend extended periods of time, and this can include airplanes. Bed bugs are often associated with hotels, hostels, and other accommodations, but they can also be transported on luggage and clothing, making it possible for them to infest aircraft as well.

Aircraft are generally cleaned and inspected regularly, and airlines take measures to prevent and address bed bug infestations. However, it’s still possible for passengers to unknowingly carry bed bugs onto a plane, and these pests can hide in luggage or personal belongings.

If you suspect you have encountered bed bugs on an aircraft or in your travels, it’s important to notify the airline or relevant authorities so that appropriate action can be taken to address the issue. Travelers should also take precautions, such as inspecting hotel rooms and their luggage, to minimize the risk of bringing bed bugs home with them.
