Ayodhya: An Air India Express plane made an emergency landing in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya airport on Tuesday following a bomb threat on the aircraft, a senior officer said here.
The plane had taken off from Jaipur, airport Director Vinod Kumar told PTI, confirming the emergency landing.
“Air India Express, along with a few other operators, received a specific security threat from an unverified social media handle. In response, security protocols were promptly activated as directed by the Government-appointed Bomb Threat Assessment Committee. The flight landed safely, and the aircraft will be released for operations following all mandated security procedures,” said an Air India Express Spokesperson.
Commercial flight operations at the Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhya Dham were launched earlier this year.
