Hmmmm so why do they still have to do this all the time on Air Canada ?
When returning to Sydney we had to wait 10 mins while they sprayed the cabins ? |

Not sure if it still happens, but it was done on a Air Vanuatu flight I was on in 1996, and Air Pacific flight in 1998. In this case it was just the flight attendants walking up and down the aisles at ToD spraying along the tops of the storage bins and under all the seats.

David: I remember it from United Airlines at least 15 or more years ago on every flight back to Australia.
Also like I said Air Canada did it upon landing in SYD two months ago! |

Most airlines do have residual disinsection now for passenger convenience. I think this guy went too far with his concern and comments. It is a spray, approved for use by the World Health Organisation. After his five minutes of fame I reckon he will be glad he kept himself anonymous. I know of MANY 'first-rate' (to use his term) airlines that still do manual disinsection.
Disinsection spray is carried on all Qantas international flights I can think of - even though it may not be used. Infact, we do a manual disinsection (on top of the residual one) INTO Mumbai, of all places. Dunno why. Seems odd when you think about what India is like. |

It also happened on Sunday on an NZ flight from HNL via NAN. I believe the flight was operated by a Hawaiian Airlines 767 which was coming to Auckland for maintenance. Not being a regular here it did not have a biosecurity certificate so was fumigated on arrival.
