Air India flight AI-2030, flying from Frankfurt to Delhi, was diverted to Jaipur on Wednesday morning following a suspected security threat. The Boeing 787-9 aircraft landed safely at Jaipur International Airport and was moved to an isolation bay for security checks. The pilot had briefly transmitted the international hijack alert code, referred to as Squawk Code 7500, which is internationally recognized for unlawful interference with an aircraft.
This transmission prompted an emergency response, with security agencies launching checks and the aircraft's passengers and crew being deplaned under supervision. The suspect threat was a bomb threat, according to sources cited by PTI, which led airport authorities to inform the police. Further details about the nature of the threat and the events preceding the diversion were not immediately available.
