Fake calls disrupting flight services have become common these days.Some flights are resumed after the required security checks.
Three international flights, two operated by IndiGo and one by Air India, received fake security threats, leading to disruption in outbound international flight operations, as checks were initiated for all three planes involved.
The total number of passengers across the two IndiGo flights was 258.
One of the flights has already departed while the other will resume its journey this afternoon.
A total of three planes received bomb threats. “One IndiGo plane has been given permission to fly. The two other planes will get permission to fly soon,” the BCAS told the media.
The first incident involved Air India flight AI119, scheduled to fly from Mumbai to New York’s JFK Airport. Following a security alert, the flight was urgently diverted to New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi
International (IGI) Airport early in the morning.
Passengers and crew were evacuated safely, and the aircraft was taken to an isolated runway. A bomb squad and other security agencies promptly began conducting a thorough inspection.
