SpiceJet bomb threat sparks emergency response at Delhi airport

The security agencies at Delhi airport conducted a massive search operation on Wednesday evening after SpiceJet received a call claiming a bomb had been placed on a Darbhanga-Delhi flight. The plane landed safely at 6 pm today.
In a statement, the company said that flight SG 8496, operating from Darbhanga to Delhi, was taken to an isolated bay at Delhi airport. Security agencies carried out a thorough search of the aircraft to eliminate the possibility of explosives.
The threat call was received by the company’s reservation office.
Passengers were swiftly deplaned after the flight landed in Delhi.
“ The flight landed safely at Delhi airport at 6 pm, and the aircraft was moved to an isolated bay,” SpiceJet said in a statement.
“Passengers have been deplaned safely, and the aircraft is undergoing a thorough search by security agencies,” the company added.
An airport official told a leading news agency that a full emergency had been declared at Delhi airport for the SpiceJet flight. There were 210 people onboard the plane.
After a probe, the threat was found to be a hoax, according to the agency.
