An Air India flight, AI127, was on its way from Delhi to Chicago when it had to make an unexpected stop in Iqaluit, Canada, on October 15. A bomb threat popped up online, prompting the quick landing. Thankfully, this was just a safety precaution, and everyone is being re-screened to keep things safe. Air India is working with local agencies to help passengers as they figure out what’s next.
But hold on, this isn’t a one-off. Just the day before, two IndiGo flights leaving Mumbai also got bomb threats, one was headed to Muscat and the other to Jeddah. It seems like airline security is facing some serious challenges lately, raising concerns about safety in the skies.
With these incidents adding up, it’s clear airlines and authorities need to stay alert. Let’s hope this trend doesn’t keep going because everyone deserves a hassle-free flight.
