This comes a day after an Air India flight from Mumbai to New York was redirected to Delhi due to a bomb threat. Mumbai airport received a message on X (formerly Twitter) about the threat.

There have been multiple recent bomb threats targeting airports, many of which were false. On October 5, Indore's Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar International Airport received a bomb threat email, leading to an FIR.
Similarly, Vadodara Airport received a bomb threat email on the same day, resulting in a thorough search. Authorities are investigating the matter and security has been increased following the threat.
