A Kuwait to Hyderabad IndiGo flight was diverted to Mumbai on Tuesday after a threat message warned of a human bomb onboard the aircraft.
The threat, conveyed through a detailed email received at the Hyderabad airport, was assessed as specific by authorities.
Following the message, the flight landed at the Mumbai airport and was being checked in the isolation area on the airport premises.
All precautionary measures were put in place.
Security teams, including emergency responders, were on standby as officials monitored the situation closely.
There was no immediate information about the number of passengers on the aircraft.
Later, an official statement by a spokesperson for the airlines said, “A security threat was received for IndiGo flight 6E1234 operating from Kuwait to Hyderabad on 2nd December 2025, due to which the aircraft was diverted to Mumbai."
“Following the established protocol, we informed the relevant authorities immediately and fully cooperated with them in carrying out the necessary security checks before the aircraft was cleared for operations," the spokesperson said.
“We made all efforts to minimise inconvenience to our customers, including offering them refreshments and sharing regular updates. As always, safety and security of our customers, crew and aircraft are our topmost priorities," the statement mentioned.
On Monday, a private school in the Mira Road area of Thane district of Maharashtra received a bomb blast threat, prompting the police to launch a search for any suspicious objects, which turned out to be a hoax.
The school’s office received an email at around 6.30 am stating that the school would be blown up by a bomb planted on its premises.
School authorities alerted the local police, who rushed to the spot.
A thorough search by the bomb detection and disposal squad revealed it was a hoax threat.
