Flight Distress: Spider Bite Incident

A recent incident involving an Iberia pilot has raised eyebrows as he was bitten by a spider during a flight from Düsseldorf to Madrid. The pilot, who suffers from a spider allergy, received treatment with Urbason from the crew to manage his reaction.

Remarkably, the aircraft landed safely without further complications. Upon arrival in Madrid, the plane underwent a thorough disinfection process, which subsequently delayed a connecting flight to Vigo.

The origin of the spider remains uncertain, with speculation suggesting it may have boarded during a stopover in Casablanca or from previous landings in various European cities. Passengers aboard the flight expressed concern, inspecting their seats and luggage for any signs of the arachnid.

This unusual event highlights the unpredictability of in-flight incidents and the need for preparedness in aircraft operations.
