Rising threats raise alarms

This incident adds to a wave of alarming threats targeting Indian flights. Nearly 1,000 hoax threats were reported in the first 10 months of last year—around ten times higher than in 2023.

Coinciding with Ahmedabad tragedy

The bomb scare occurred just a day after a devastating Air India crash in Ahmedabad that killed over 241 people, highlighting a challenging period for the airline.

Investigation underway

Airport authorities in Phuket are now conducting a full sweep of the aircraft and reviewing the threat’s validity. Air India has not yet responded publicly.
