Bomb Threat Hoaxes Disrupt Indian Airlines Amid Tensions

A series of bomb threats, later deemed hoaxes, have disrupted flights involving major Indian airlines, including Air India, IndiGo, and Air India Express, over the past two days. Seven flights received threats, prompting emergency landings and security checks, such as the diversion of a Delhi-Chicago Air India flight to Canada and an IndiGo flight's emergency landing in Jaipur. Singapore scrambled fighter jets to escort an Air India Express flight following a threat, with no explosives found upon landing. These incidents have raised concerns reminiscent of historical aviation threats, coinciding with heightened tensions between India and Canada due to diplomatic disputes. Authorities are investigating the origins of these threats, which were made via social media, leading to the suspension of the responsible account. Despite the disruptions, no credible threats were identified, and airlines are considering legal action against the perpetrators.
