Bomb threat received by Russian aircraft Aeroflot; inquiry underway at Delhi IGI airport

Russian airline Aeroflot flight SU 232 got a bomb threat on Thursday, while the aircraft was travelling to Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI).

“Our investigation team told the media that all the passengers and their luggage are being checked and the SOPs are being followed. The aircraft is currently in the isolation bay,” an official investigation team told the media. “Threat was received by electronic medium this time,” he added.

On schedule, Aeroflot SU 232 left Moscow and arrived in Delhi at about 3:20 am on Friday.

“There was a call at 11:15 pm about a bomb in the flight coming from Moscow to Terminal 3 (T3) at 3:20 tonight. Flight number SU232 landed on runway 29,” an official said.
“All passengers and crew members were de-boarded. The flight is being checked and an investigation is underway,” Delhi Police said.

Further investigation is ongoing as nothing serious has been found so far. Security officials were informed after receiving a bomb threat call for an Air India flight with a destination of London earlier on September 10.

“We received a bomb threat call about a flight going to London. On Thursday night at 10.30 pm, a phone call came on the landline of Ranhola police station in outer Delhi. The caller said that, on the lines of the 9/11 attacks in the US, an Air India flight to London would be blown up,” Delhi Police sources said.
