More than 20 flights of Indian airlines, including international flights, received bomb threats on Sunday, according to sources. IndiGo, Vistara, Air India, and Akasa Air were among the airlines affected. Six flights each of IndiGo, Vistara, and Air India received the threats, with most of them turning out to be hoaxes. The threats were received for flights operating on various routes, including domestic and international sectors.

The bomb threats prompted emergency response teams to swing into action, with airlines following all safety and security procedures in coordination with local authorities. Vistara said it got security threats for six flights, including UK25 (Delhi to Frankfurt) and UK106 (Singapore to Mumbai), while IndiGo confirmed threats for six flights, including 6E 58 (Jeddah to Mumbai) and 6E11 (Delhi to Istanbul).

So far this week, more than 90 flights have received bomb threats, with most of them being hoaxes. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) held a meeting with airlines on Saturday to discuss the issue. Airlines have been advised to remain vigilant and follow standard security protocols to ensure passenger safety. The situation is being closely monitored by security agencies and regulatory authorities.
