Rajiv Gandhi International Airport has been on high alert after receiving three bomb threats overnight for flights arriving from various cities, including two international destinations. Sources confirmed that emails targeted British Airways from Heathrow, Lufthansa from Frankfurt, and IndiGo from Kannur.
Swift responses led to the safe landing of all flights. International flights touched down early Monday as authorities initiated standard safety protocols. These measures, including aircraft isolation and sniffer dog searches, were crucial in averting any incident.
This incident follows a series of threats last week, prompting emergency procedures for Emirates and IndiGo flights from Dubai, Madina, and Sharjah, with the Madina flight redirected to Ahmedabad. Airport officials remain vigilant, emphasizing the importance of stringent security protocols.
