An Air India flight from Phuket, Thailand, to New Delhi was compelled to make an emergency landing on Friday shortly after take-off due to a bomb threat on board, according to the Thai Airports Authority.
This incident occurred just a day after a London-bound Air India passenger jet tragically crashed in Ahmedabad, India, resulting in the deaths of at least 265 individuals both on board and on the ground.
Airports of Thailand announced on their Facebook page regarding Phuket that the pilot of the Airbus A320 had informed air traffic control about the discovery of a bomb threat message on the aircraft.
Flight tracking website FlightRadar24 indicated that the Phuket flight executed a U-turn over the Andaman Sea shortly after departure, circling several times off the island’s coast before landing safely.
