l haven't operated out of BNE for years, but I suspect the covers being used to mitigate the wasp problem are supplied by the engineers, not from the aircraft.

The 'simple' solution for that problem would be for the engineers to supply them for the duration of the turn-around, which obviously creates another problem...
