Emergency Landing In Ahmedabad After 'Bomb' Note Found On Napkin In Lavatory An Air India Express flight traveling from Dammam to New Delhi was forced to make an emergency landing at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad after a bomb threat was discovered mid-flight. The incident unfolded when a cabin crew member located a tissue paper inside the aircraft’s lavatory bearing the word "BOMB" written on it. The crew promptly informed the pilot, who immediately contacted Air Traffic Control to request emergency clearance for a diversion and landing. Upon arrival in Ahmedabad, the aircraft was swiftly taxied to an isolated bay away from the main terminal, where emergency response units were already on standby. Security personnel and bomb disposal teams surrounded the plane, implementing standard safety protocols. All 32 passengers on board were safely evacuated and transferred to Terminal 2. No injuries were reported during the evacuation. Authorities conducted a thorough inspection of the aircraft, examining the cabin, seats, and cargo hold. Despite the initial alarm, no explosive substances or suspicious items were found during the search. The plane was subsequently cleared by airport authorities for further operations. Security agencies have launched an investigation to identify the individual or group responsible for placing the note in the lavatory and to determine the motive behind the incident. In a statement, an Air India Express spokesperson confirmed that the flight was diverted to Ahmedabad as a precautionary measure in accordance with security protocols.#ahmedabad #air_india_express #sardar_vallabhbhai_patel_international_airport #air_traffic_control #bomb_threat_assessment_committee
