A TAAG Angola Airlines Boeing 737-700, registration D2-TBJ performing flight
DT-582 from Maputo (Mozambique) to Luanda (Angola), was accelerating for takeoff from Maputo's runway 05 when the crew rejected takeoff at about 80 KIAS due to an airspeed disagree between captain's and first officer's instruments. The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.
The airline reported a bee was found in one of the pitot tubes forcing the crew to reject takeoff. The passengers disembarked and were taken to a hotel. The aircraft was handed to maintenance to return it into an airworthy condition and was returned to service.
The aircraft departed again the following day after about 28 hours on the ground and reached Luanda with a delay of 28:15 hours.
