Bomb Threat on Vistara Flight from London to Delhi: A False Alarm

A bomb threat on a Vistara flight from London to Delhi turned out to be a hoax. Authorities were alerted after a note was found in the lavatory, leading to thorough security inspections. No suspicious items were found, and the passengers disembarked safely at Delhi airport.

The Vistara flight carrying nearly 290 passengers from London to Delhi was subjected to a bomb threat scare on Wednesday. Despite the intimidating message found onboard, the threat was deemed a hoax after thorough inspections at Delhi airport.

A note with the stark warning 'BOMB THIS FLIGHT' was discovered in one of the aircraft's lavatories, prompting immediate alert to aviation authorities. Crew members conducted an initial search and decided not to divert the flight, which safely continued to its destination.

Upon arrival, the Boeing 787 was taken to an isolation bay for mandatory security checks, all of which confirmed the absence of any suspicious items. Passengers disembarked without incidents, with the airline ensuring full cooperation with security protocols to resolve the situation promptly.
