LUCKNOW A Deoghar (Jharkhand)-bound Indigo passenger aircraft (6E-6191), which took off from New Delhi airport around 11 am, had to make an emergency landing at Lucknow’s Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport at 12.20 pm on Monday due to safety reasons.
The flight made an emergency landing after Deoghar airport officials received a bomb threat, which proved to be a hoax as nothing suspicious was found on board. After the emergency landing, the flight was taken in an isolation area. Subsequently, security personnel stormed inside the flight and searched every corner of it, including the luggage area. The entire episode delayed the journey by more than 2.5 hours. During the search, the passengers were not allowed to move out.
