These days bomb threats in planes are increasing day by day. On Thursday, over 70 Indian planes received bomb threats.  Some flights were diverted after being alerted to the threat, while others were landed and searched properly before being transported to the isolation bay. However, these threats seemed to be fake after an investigation.

As per Jagran, there have been bomb threats on approximately 14 aircraft operated by Akash Air and 20 flights operated by Air India, Vistara, and Indigo. Bomb threats have been sent to almost 250 Indian Airlines planes in the last 11 days.

A spokesperson of Akasa Air said, "Some flights scheduled to operate on October 24 have received bomb threats. Akasa Air's Emergency Response teams are monitoring the situation and are in contact with security and regulatory authorities. We are following all safety and security procedures in coordination with local authorities."
