Air Canada flight AC43, scheduled to depart for Toronto, received a bomb threat via email just before leaving Delhi on Tuesday night, according to media reports, amid a string of similar incidents reported in the past few weeks.
An email was received at 10:50 pm by the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) office at IGI Airport regarding the threat of a bomb inside an Air Canada flight. After standard security protocols, a thorough inspection was conducted and nothing suspicious was found.
This incident comes days after a Mumbai-bound Vistara flight with 306 persons onboard from Paris received a bomb threat after which a full emergency was declared at the city airport in the financial capital of India.
