Bomb Threat Prompts Air India Flight Diversion to Riyadh

A bomb threat triggered the diversion of an Air India flight from Birmingham to Delhi, with the aircraft landing in Riyadh for security protocols. The incident was reported by an airline spokesperson on Sunday. Flight AI114 was safely diverted to Riyadh on June 21st, where it underwent thorough security checks. This event is one of several disruptions in the aviation industry. Before the Air India incident, an IndiGo flight was canceled due to technical issues discovered before taxiing. Additionally, an Air India Express flight was rerouted from Delhi to Patna, landing in Varanasi due to weather conditions. Separately, an IndiGo flight en route from Guwahati to Chennai issued a ‘Mayday’ call and made an emergency landing in Bengaluru due to low fuel. The Chennai landing attempt was aborted due to an unstable approach.
