India plane makes emergency landing after bomb hoax
2016-01-24
[DAWN] An Indian passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing in the country's western city of Nagpur on Saturday after a hoax bomb threat, GoAir airline said.

The GoAir plane, carrying 150 passengers, was en route from the eastern city of Bhubaneshwar to Mumbai when authorities received an anonymous call that a bomb had been planted aboard.

"Post receiving the bomb threat call, it [the aircraft] was diverted to Nagpur," GoAir said in an email statement.

The passengers were offloaded and airport security searched the aircraft and baggage, the budget airline said.
