An emergency was declared at Mumbai airport after a bomb threat was made regarding an IndiGo flight from Goa to Mumbai on Monday night. This resulted in the aircraft, which was airborne at the time, being taken to an isolation bay.

A source said, “A full-scale emergency was declared at the airport at 10.32 pm. A Bomb Threat Analysis Committee (BTAC) was formed and the threat was analysed following all protocols. After landing at the Mumbai airport, the aircraft was taken to an isolation bay and all passengers safely disembarked. A note had been found onboard the plane with the message about the purported bomb threat. The full-scale emergency was withdrawn at 11.33 pm after the threat was found to be a hoax,” the source further disclosed.
