The airline stated they "removed an aircraft from service at the request of Italian Health Authorities (USMA) after two passengers who had travelled from Billund to Rome Ciampino complained of insect bites while waiting in the terminal in Ciampino to collect their baggage. As the source of these alleged insect bites was unknown Ryanair was happy to disinfect the aircraft overnight before returning it to service Fri 7 Sept.
