Pilot Bitten by Spider During Düsseldorf-Madrid Flight

The Iberia pilot received on-board treatment and safely landed the plane; the spider's origin and species remain unknown.

The incident occurred on an Iberia flight from Düsseldorf to Madrid when the pilot was bitten by a spider mid-flight.
The crew administered Urbason, a corticosteroid, to the pilot as a precautionary measure against a possible allergic reaction.
Iberia confirmed that the pilot successfully landed the plane and resumed work the following day without further issues.
The spider, which was not located, is suspected to have entered the aircraft during a previous stop in Casablanca, though this remains unconfirmed.
The plane was disinfected upon arrival in Madrid, causing a delay for a subsequent flight, but passengers on the affected flight were unaware of the incident.
