Reports indicate an American Airlines flight heading to Delhi, India from the JFK airport in New York was forced to make a U-turn under a fighter jet escort after a bomb threat.
American Airlines Flight 292 was near Turkmenistan when it had to make its sudden diversion, being grounded in Rome due to a “possible security issue,” according to the airline, confirmed just this Sunday, February 23.
As reported by Daily Mail, the plane was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamline and was carrying 285 passengers. They were escorted out of the sky thanks to two Italian Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon warplanes immediately after the alarming alert.
