Fake bomb threats cause Panic and Disruption in Indian Airlines

Indian media reported that over the past eight days, the country’s airlines have received more than 70 fake bomb threats. These threats led to some flights being canceled, others rerouted, and several international flights escorted by fighter jets.

According to Indian reports, all flights that received bomb threats landed safely without incident.
