An Air India flight from Frankfurt to New Delhi is diverted to Jaipur after authorities issue a bomb threat and hijack-related security alert. Multiple outlets report the aircraft makes an emergency landing at Jaipur International Airport and is moved to an isolation bay for checks, with security personnel inspecting the plane and passengers’ luggage.
Reports also point to the crew triggering an aviation emergency code associated with unlawful interference. Mint, drawing on initial information, says the pilot pressed “Squawk Code 7500” while the aircraft was in the Mumbai Flight Information Region, prompting the diversion. Other outlets describe the incident as a hoax threat while the investigation and verification of passenger safety proceed.
Across coverage, details such as the exact source of the threat and the number of passengers are not immediately confirmed, and official comments from Air India are awaited. Police and airport authorities coordinate the response, including sweeping the aircraft and assessing risks before allowing any further action.
