Aviation Chaos: Air India Flight Faces Bomb Threat, Other Incidents Reported

An Air India flight from Birmingham to Delhi was diverted to Riyadh on Saturday following a bomb threat, as confirmed by an airline spokesperson. The flight, identified as AI114, landed safely in Riyadh, where security measures were implemented. This incident occurs during a period marked by various operational challenges in the aviation sector. An IndiGo flight experienced a technical malfunction, leading to its cancellation. Moreover, an Air India Express flight from Delhi to Patna was rerouted to Varanasi due to weather concerns. In a separate event, an IndiGo flight with 168 passengers from Guwahati to Chennai issued a ‘Mayday’ call and executed an emergency landing at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport. The ‘Mayday’ call was made because of low fuel. The attempted landing in Chennai was abandoned due to an unstable approach.
