The issue of bomb threats to airlines doesn’t seem to die down soon. In the series of threats being issued allegedly from an X account, the latest one was sent to the Bengaluru airport command centre.
The message, which was sent through an anonymous X account, claimed that there were 12 bombers spread across six Indigo flights, with two bombers on each plane, according to an India Today report. The flights mentioned in the message were IX233, IX375, IX481, IX383, IX549, and IX399.
The flights are departing from several airports, including routes from Mangalore to Dubai and Thiruvananthapuram to Muscat. According to a senior police official, this is the second bomb threat directed at Kempegowda Airport in the past week, the report said.
However, no case has been registered following the threat. Airport authorities have been issued an alert, but Indigo is yet to file a complaint in Bengaluru.
Meanwhile, the budget carrier said that six of its flights got bomb threats. After getting the threat, the airlines issued a statement stating that the safety and security of the passengers and crew is top priority and that the airline is closely working with authorities and taking all necessary precautions as per the guidelines.
