Qantas Grounds 787 Dreamliner in Rome After Bedbugs on Perth Flight

Qantas took a Boeing 787 Dreamliner — its wide-body jet — out of service in Rome after bedbugs were found in the forward economy cabin on flight QF5 from Perth on 9 October. The airline said only a small number of seats were affected and the plane was withdrawn for deep cleaning. It said cabins are disinfected every 50 days.
