NEW DELHI: A Srinagar bound Vistara flight received a bomb threat on Friday but turned out to be a hoax after the security forces searched the aircraft, officials said.
According to officials, the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Srinagar received an information ‘threatening call’, sparking a swift and coordinated response from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
Later, an Airport official confirmed on the Phone that the threat was deemed non-credible and normal operations resumed: Airport Authorities, Srinagar
This comes days after the Delhi Fire Service reported a bomb threat on Indigo flight 6E2211 from Delhi to Varanasi. All passengers were safely evacuated using the emergency exits, as confirmed by the Delhi Fire Service.
