Airline companies operating in India have been struggling with bomb threats made via social media or e-mail for the last 48 hours. Since Monday, many flights have been canceled and some flights have been diverted due to bomb threats on international flights as well as domestic flights of low-cost airlines. In a statement made by Indian Airlines, it was noted that at least 10 flights were reported as bomb threats and said, “There has been an increase in such reports in recent days.” 

Indian Airlines' Delhi-Chicago passenger plane made an emergency landing in Canada after a bomb threat yesterday. Canadian police announced that 211 passengers and crew on board were evacuated after the emergency landing. In a statement made today, it was stated that the passengers were transported to Chicago by Canadian Air Force planes.

In another incident yesterday, two jets escorted the passenger plane by the Singapore Air Force after a bomb threat was made to the passenger plane of Air India Express. In a statement on his social media account, Singapore Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen announced that the plane landed at Singapore Changi Airport and said, “We received an e-mail that there was a bomb on flight AXB684 from Madurai city in southern India to Singapore.”

In addition, an Indian Airlines passenger flight from Mumbai to New York also landed in Delhi after a bomb threat. Low-cost airline IndiGo Airlines' two flights from Mumbai to Oman and Saudi Arabia were also delayed for long periods following bomb threats.

In a statement made by the low-budget SpiceJet Airlines, it was noted that a bomb threat was made to the plane that was to make the Darbhanga-Mumbai flight and said, “The plane landed smoothly at Mumbai Airport.” In the statement, it was stated that the flight was resumed after security checks.

India's Ministry of Civil Aviation (MOCA) will meet today to discuss what happened.
