Plane disinfection for South Africa

[rafaelpeperomano]

Você sabe se em voos internacionais que chegam no Brasil antes da decolagem tem de fazer o mesmo procedimento, porque quando cheguei de Paris lembro q não passaram...

[madisonelectronic]

They are trying to kill stuff. Everybody has cooties these days.

[spud0606]

It's for flying insects...ie...mosquitoes

[SouthAfricanAirways1]

Not from all countries. On flights to Australia and Europe they don't spray. Was this a A340-300e? I didn't see any PTVs...

Also I found its hard to lean against the wall if your trying to sleep...

To France , with AIR FRANCE from GRU or GIG, they use this kind of spray... and with TAM to CDG, I didn't remember if they use that. I think not.

[andfranca]

@oyou01 TAM does on most of its international flights, LIAT caribbean and Gol airlines do it aswel!

[Glaciartest]

@oyou01 So did from MEX to CDG

Stupid. Does not work! Abandoned by most nations years ago.

I've heard you pay an extra £5 on your ticket price for that. When you concider the number of passengers on board, that's a lot of money

[mightysprocket]

It's not "disinfection", it's "disinsection". It's an agricultural requirement to prevent the introduction of foreign insects to their country. Either way, I'm still shocked that they do it inflight without advising/checking with passengers for specific medical conditions.

@mightysprocket now i understand 10x

[andfranca]

@mightysprocket they do say its non toxic and passengers with allergic reactions should cover their eyes and mouth!

[domjw0012]

Nice video, really interesting. I have a friend that was on an SAA flight and they did the disinfection but she was allergic to the stuff they used and she came out in a massive rash all over her body half way through the flight from Johannesburg to London Heathrow. Dodgyness, she told me she was in agony, they should check if passengers are allergic to these things :S

[chavitavb]

Do they have too spray so close to their ears lol? isn't that dangerous if it gets in.

[planeman009]

it makes their cold and refreshed! LOL

[chavitavb]

LOL

[yeahdude7]

Zyklon B

[goldenismonica]

they did that on Air France from Port Harcourt, Nigeria in 2005...we left on a night flight that day to Paris and it was during the rainy season. so they had to spray that stuff against the bugs and mosquitos that could have entered the plane while boarding. its a really smart idea. :)

[twboi75]

Wha....???????!?! Is this normal now?

[Tdoronila]

Aren't they suppose to do that before boarding!

[thatswassup22]

They are spraying some form of pesticides on the passengers. I know of one major U.S. airline that did this on the international arrivals and probably still does because I saw the empty aerosel cans that was left inside the jetbride when the aircraft went thru through cleaning. I believe this is a government rule the airlines must follow.

[getdownadam]

@thatswassup22 It happens on lots of carriers and it's country specific, but it's a World Health Organisation requirement, not necessarily a government requirement although it can be.

[Hardbass11]

what the fuck was they spraying?

[filiremix]

CS Gas lol

[chavitavb]

WTF WAS HE SPRAYING ??????????

[planeman009]

[colindude]

It is spelt Johannesburg. Not Johannesburgo.

[mellotrongirl]
