Security sources said that the AI plane landed at Jaipur after the Pilot-in-Command transmitted Code 7500 to the concerned ATC, indicating unlawful interference
On October 14, 2026, an Air India flight en route from Frankfurt to Delhi was unexpectedly diverted to Jaipur due to a hijack alert, which later proved to be a false alarm, according to various sources. The Boeing 787-9 aircraft, carrying approximately 293 passengers and 13 crew members, made an emergency landing at Jaipur International Airport around 9:35 a.m. and was subsequently moved to an isolation bay for thorough security inspections.
Passengers were temporarily transferred to the terminal building before being allowed to reboard the same aircraft. After the security checks, the flight resumed its journey and landed at Delhi Airport at approximately 3:10 p.m., operated by the same crew. The incident was reported to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for further investigation.
