Overview
- IndiGo flight 6E 762 reported a threat mid-flight after a crew member found a lavatory note with the word “BOMB,” prompting the pilot to alert ATC.
- Bomb Threat Assessment Committees at Mumbai and Delhi coordinated the response, granting priority landing at IGI and directing the aircraft to a remote bay.
- CISF and BCAS teams deboarded passengers, screened baggage, and searched the Airbus A321neo before declaring the aircraft safe.
- The flight, carrying about 200 people, landed at approximately 7:53 am and was cleared to resume operations after security checks.
- Authorities characterized the warning as non-specific and are probing the origin of the note in the context of frequent hoax threats to Indian aviation.
