Chennai-Mumbai IndiGo Flight Receives Bomb Threat, Makes Emergency Landing

"IndiGo flight 6E 5314 operating from Chennai to Mumbai had received a bomb threat. Upon landing in Mumbai, the crew followed protocol and the aircraft was taken to an isolation bay as per security agency guidelines," said IndiGo in its press statement

"All passengers have safely disembarked the aircraft. The aircraft is currently undergoing inspection. Post completion of all security checks, the aircraft will be positioned back in the terminal area," the airline statement added.

This is the second bomb threat to an IndiGo flight in this week. On Tuesday, a Varanasi-bound IndiGo flight received a bomb threat at Delhi airport, but a search of the aircraft found it to be a hoax.
