Tue Oct 15 08:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Bomb Threats Ground IndiGo Flights in Mumbai, Following Air India Diversion
**Mumbai, India:** Two IndiGo flights departing from Mumbai received bomb threats on Monday morning, causing the airlines to follow security protocols and ground the aircraft.
Flight 6E 56, bound for Jeddah, and 6E 1275, en route to Muscat, were both subjected to the threats. As per standard procedure, both aircraft were moved to isolated bays while security checks were initiated.
This incident comes hours after an Air India flight, AI 119, flying from Mumbai to New York, was diverted to New Delhi due to a “specific security alert.” The nature of the threat for all three flights remains unclear, and investigations are underway to determine if the threats were credible.
The recent spate of bomb threats targeting Indian carriers has raised concerns about aviation security. While authorities work to investigate these incidents, passengers are experiencing significant disruptions to their travel plans.
