Air India's Frankfurt-Delhi flight diverted to Jaipur following security scare- What we know
Air India's Frankfurt-Delhi flight AI-2030 was diverted to Jaipur following a reported bomb threat. Here's what we know about the security scare and ongoing checks.
On Wednesday morning, an Air India flight bound for Delhi from Frankfurt was diverted to Jaipur after a bomb threat was reported. The Boeing 787-9 aircraft, flight AI-2030, landed securely at Jaipur International Airport and was subsequently moved to an isolation bay for thorough security checks. Law enforcement agencies, including the Anti-Terrorism Squad, airport security personnel, and local police, collaborated on the operation.
The pilot had reportedly transmitted a squawk code 7500 while the plane was in Mumbai's flight information region, a signal indicating unlawful interference with an aircraft, though the exact circumstances surrounding the transmission and its connection to the bomb threat were not yet disclosed. The National Security Guard was on standby in case further assistance was needed.
While the security situation was under control after the aircraft landed safely, the origin and specifics of the threat remained undisclosed. The screening process for passengers and baggage, as well as the aircraft's next steps, awaited further details from security authorities.
