An IndiGo flight operating from Delhi to Pune received bomb threat information upon arrival at Pune airport on Thursday evening, prompting security agencies to carry out extensive checks, though nothing suspicious was found, officials said.

“The aircraft, scheduled to arrive at 8:40 pm, landed at 9:24 pm and was parked at Bay No. 3 at 9:27 pm. Subsequently, Air Traffic Control (ATC) communicated the bomb threat information to Apron Control. The aircraft was then moved to the isolation bay. Apron Control immediately alerted all concerned agencies, and the Bomb Threat Assessment Committee (BTAC) was convened,” an official said.

Following the assessment, the aircraft was thoroughly checked by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), the official said, adding no suspicious or adverse findings were detected.

“Upon completion of the procedures, the aircraft was cleared and released for normal operations. The situation was handled in a coordinated and timely manner, and no further incident was reported,” the official added.

In a statement, IndiGo said that soon after landing, a security threat was noticed onboard IndiGo flight 6E 2608 operating from Delhi to Pune.

“Following the established protocol, we informed the relevant authorities immediately and are fully cooperating with them in following the standard operating procedures. All our customers and crew disembarked safely. We remain committed towards the safety and security of our customers, crew and aircraft,” the statement said.
