British Airways (BA) takes off one of its Boeing 747s out of service after one of its passengers complained she had been bitten by bed bugs, reported 'The Telegraph'.
Zane Selkirk, 28, a business executive who lives in California and was flying to London from Los Angeles and Bangalore, India, last month posted pictures of her bites on the internet after being unhappy with BA’s initial response.
"During the first flight, I turned on my light to find bugs crawling on my blanket and a bedbug-blood-spattered shirt.
"On the return Bangalore to London journey, I left my 10-hour flight to find my body covered with 90 bug bites. The worst part was the non-existent customer service throughout the 10-day ordeal."
A BA spokesman confirmed that the aircraft on the Los Angeles flight was taken out of service and treated before being allowed back into service.
