A Vistara flight heading from Delhi to London had to make an unexpected pit stop in Frankfurt because of a bomb threat that popped up on social media. Thankfully, the plane touched down without a hitch and is now going through the standard security checks to keep everyone safe. Once all clear, they’ll be back on their way to London.
The airline jumped into action, alerting the necessary authorities right away. This isn’t a one-off thing either—just the other day, Akasa Air had to evacuate passengers from a Bengaluru to Mumbai flight due to a different security scare. Safety first, right?
Interestingly, in just a few days, about 40 flights from Indian airlines have been hit with similar bomb threats, most of which turned out to be pranks. It’s been a wild time in the air! In response to all this chaos, the Civil Aviation Ministry is looking at some serious new regulations, including a proposal to blacklist anyone making these threats from flying. It’s about time we get a grip on this madness.
