DDT is stil being used in Ethiopia, South Africa, Uganda, Swaziland, and some Asian countries, with India being the largest consumer of DDT. Despite that the Times of India reports: "Debt-ridden national carrier Air India has hit a new low with bed bugs in its business class." Ouch! Bitten in the wallet and beneath!

Infestations have been reported on different aircraft.

The Times of India article you cited seems to be about the same flight as the one mentioned in the article for this thread. Here's one about bedbugs on a British Airways flight from Vancouver to London. And here's an article about cities in the US with bedbug issues. As we've banned effective pesticides due to environmentalist hysteria, we're seeing a huge resurgence in insect pests our great-grandparents thought were problems of the past.
