Bomb threat forces IndiGo flight to make emergency landing in Chennai

An IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Phuket in Thailand made an emergency landing at the Chennai airport following an alleged bomb threat, an airport official said on Friday.

“IndiGo flight 6E 1089 operating from Mumbai to Phuket on September 19, was diverted to Chennai due to a security threat noticed onboard,” the airlines said.
