Airport officials stated that the aircraft was diverted to Ahmedabad as soon as the threat was received. Following a thorough security check and inspection of the aircraft, no explosive device was found. Passengers and crew members were safely disembarked. Officials said this is not an isolated incident, and several aircraft have faced similar threats in the past few weeks.
Just two days prior, another IndiGo flight from Kuwait to Hyderabad also received a bomb threat. That aircraft was diverted to Mumbai and made a safe landing. The threat was received via email, claiming that a human bomb was on board. The claim was later found to be false. Several bomb threats have also been received at airports in Delhi and other major cities in recent weeks.
Following the recent bomb blast in Delhi, security agencies have heightened their vigilance. A high alert has been issued for aircraft and airport security. Officials have also requested passengers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious objects immediately to the authorities. They stated that bomb threats are being taken seriously, and strict surveillance is being maintained at every airport and on every aircraft.
