IndiGo will use electronic mosquito bats to deal with mosquito menace on-board flights, according to the airline amid rising passenger complaints about the problem. The no-frills carrier today said it would "use electronic mosquito bats to minimise the discomfort to passengers caused by mosquitoes". "However, the electronic mosquito bats will be used only in exceptional circumstances and not as a regular practice," it added. "Given the mosquito menace in some of the stations in hot weather every year, as the standard operating procedure, we spray the aircraft with an approved aircraft insecticide prior to boarding. In fact, on this aircraft, the aircraft insecticide was sprayed twice.
