A @united @Boeing 737 was briefly delayed in Cancun after a swarm of bees landed on its wing. Instead of calling beekeepers, the crew waited and departed, letting airflow disperse them. United confirmed a safe flight—no bees on board.

A @SAS @Airbus A320 pilot was arrested at Nice after testing positive for cocaine during a routine tarmac check. He received a suspended sentence and a ban from flying over France. Authorities are expected to suspend his licence, with SAS likely to take disciplinary action.

The Bombay High Court has restored the ATPL of former @airindia pilot Jeetendra K. Varma, quashing a 2011 DGCA suspension after 15 years. The court cited a lack of due process, but allowed the regulator to reopen the case with proper procedure.

A @united @Boeing 757 from Edinburgh to Washington Dulles continued to its destination after a precautionary Ebola alert linked to passengers’ recent travel from Uganda. No symptoms were found, no medical issue occurred, and United later confirmed it was a miscommunication.
