Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport received three bomb threats on flights coming from different cities, including two international flights, local authorities said.
The airport received emails late Sunday evening that targeted British Airways’ Flight BA 277 from Heathrow, Lufthansa’s Flight LH 752 from Frankfurt and IndiGo’s 6E 7178 from Kannur.
Airport sources said all the flights landed safely. The two international flights landed here during the early hours of Monday.
“Standard safety protocols were initiated for all three aircraft,” sources said. Those protocols include isolation of the aircraft, screening of baggage and passengers, keeping fire engines ready and using sniffer dogs, among others, the authorities said.
Last week, the RGIA received bomb threat emails for the Dubai-Hyderabad Emirates flight as well as IndiGo’s Madina–Hyderabad and Sharjah-Hyderabad flights in separate incidents.
