An IndiGo flight from New Delhi to Odisha’s Deogarh was diverted to the Lucknow airport following a “specific bomb threat” which was later declared a hoax, the airlines said.
Flight 6E 6191 was checked thoroughly at the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (CCSIA) and was cleared for a takeoff 2.35 hours later, an airport official said.
The airline said in a statement that it followed security agencies’ rules in the investigation.
An airport spokesperson said the flight landed safely at 12:20pm and was taken to the isolation bay.
