A full emergency was declared at Mumbai airport on Sunday after a Mumbai-bound Vistara flight from Paris received a bomb threat. The flight from Paris was carrying 306 passengers, including 12 crew members.
This was the second threat Vistara’s flight received in the last two days. On Friday, a Delhi-Srinagar flight on Friday received a similar threat.
The airline reported that its flight UK 024 from Paris’ Charles de Gualle airport to Mumbai received a hand written note on an airsickness bag threatening a bomb, reported PTI quoting a source.
The flight, however, landed safely at 10:19 am. Following that, security agencies conducted a thorough check.
