Thiruvananthapuram:   A bomb threat led to a tense situation at Thiruvananthapuram Airport on Thursday morning when an Air India flight from Mumbai had to make an emergency landing. The incident unfolded around 7:30 a.m., when the pilot alerted airport authorities about the potential threat.

Details on how the threat was received are still unclear, and more information is awaited. The airport immediately went into full alert mode, with the bomb squad and emergency services quickly deployed.

The flight, carrying 136 passengers, including crew members, landed safely at around 8:00 a.m. The plane was then moved to a secure area, and all passengers were safely evacuated.

Authorities conducted a thorough screening of all baggage and cargo. Bomb experts entered the aircraft for a detailed inspection, and so far, nothing suspicious has been found, with the situation appearing to be under control.

Security has been tightened across the airport, though normal operations are continuing. Authorities suspect the bomb threat was likely a hoax, but they are taking no chances in ensuring safety.
