An Air India flight traveling from Mumbai to New York had to abort its journey and return to Mumbai after a bomb threat was issued. The flight, AI-185, had just reached a cruising altitude when the bomb scare was reported, triggering emergency procedures.
The captain immediately contacted air traffic control and made the decision to return to Mumbai for a safe landing. Security teams at Mumbai International Airport were on high alert and were ready to conduct a full investigation as soon as the plane landed.
Upon arrival, the aircraft was carefully inspected by bomb detection experts. After a thorough search, the threat was confirmed as a hoax, and there were no explosives found on board. However, the situation caused delays for passengers, many of whom were transferred to other flights to continue their journey.
Despite the scare, the airline reassured passengers of their safety and expressed their commitment to continuing the investigation into the origin of the threat. Authorities are reviewing all leads in the case, but no arrests have been made as of yet.
