Lucknow, June 12: An IndiGo flight from Ahmedabad to Delhi via Lucknow made an emergency landing at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport on Friday after a bomb threat message was discovered on a tissue paper inside the aircraft's lavatory.

Emergency landing prompted by bomb threat
According to officials, the aircraft was en route when a crew member found a tissue paper with the word "bomb" written on it. The pilot immediately informed Air Traffic Control (ATC) and sought permission for an emergency landing at Lucknow.

ATC alerted the airport authorities and security agencies before clearing the aircraft for landing. Flight 6E-2111 landed safely at Lucknow airport at around 11.15 am.

Officials said no suspicious object or explosive material was found during the search. After the aircraft was declared safe, passengers were allowed to reboard and the flight departed for Delhi at around 2.40 pm. Several passengers, including former IPS officer B.P. Ashok, were on board the flight.
