IndiGo Flight from Kuwait Diverted to Mumbai After Bomb Threat

IndiGo flight bomb threat diverted to Mumbai: An IndiGo flight en route from Kuwait to Hyderabad was diverted to Mumbai early Tuesday morning after authorities received an email threatening a “human bomb” on board. The message triggered immediate security protocols while the aircraft was still airborne. As a precautionary measure, the pilot opted to divert the plane to Mumbai airport.

Safe Landing & Immediate Security Response

The plane touched down safely in Mumbai and was guided to an isolated area of the airport to avoid any risk to other flights and terminals.

Airport security teams and a specialized bomb squad were deployed without delay. A comprehensive inspection of the aircraft was launched under strict security measures.

What Is Known (So Far)

Details about the number of passengers aboard have not yet been disclosed.

As of now, the airline has not issued an official statement regarding the incident.

Related Threats Elsewhere

In a similar incident just a day earlier, a private school in the Mira Road area of Maharashtra’s Thane district received a bomb threat via email at around 6:30 a.m. Police were informed immediately, and the local Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad conducted a detailed search. The threat was determined to be a hoax.

Bottom Line:

Prompt action by the pilot and airport authorities ensured no harm came to passengers or crew. The swift diversion and thorough security checks underscore the importance of vigilance and standard safety protocols — especially in response to email-based bomb threats that may or may not be credible.
