An IndiGo flight from Goa to Mumbai faced a bomb threat on Monday evening, which was later confirmed to be a hoax after thorough security inspections.

Upon arrival at Mumbai airport, the flight number 6E 5101 was redirected to an isolation bay where passengers disembarked safely, according to an airline spokesperson on Tuesday.

A note indicating a bomb threat was discovered on the plane, prompting a full emergency alert at 10.30 pm, which was subsequently lifted at 11.30 pm after authorities verified it as a hoax.
