Indian airlines have been hit by a series of bomb threats in recent days, with two separate incidents occurring on Tuesday. The first incident involved an Air India flight from New Delhi to Chicago, which was forced to make an emergency landing in Iqaluit, Canada due to a security threat posted online. All 211 passengers and crew were safely relocated to the airport.
Simultaneously, a second threat targeted an Air India Express passenger plane enroute to Singapore from Madurai. The airline received an email claiming there was a bomb onboard, prompting Singapore to scramble two Air Force F-15 fighter jets to escort the plane before landing at Changi Airport. Investigations into this incident are ongoing.
