Mumbai, 16th October 2024: An IndiGo flight from Riyadh to Mumbai was diverted to Muscat on Wednesday morning due to a “security alert,” and it landed without incident, according to the airline.
In a statement, IndiGo confirmed that the aircraft is currently grounded in Muscat following the alert. This comes after several flights in recent days have faced similar security threats, which were later deemed to be hoaxes.
“Flight 6E 74, operating from Riyadh to Mumbai, was rerouted to Muscat after receiving a security alert. The aircraft has been isolated, and all passengers have safely disembarked,” the airline said.
Details regarding the number of passengers and crew onboard were not disclosed.
“Safety and security of our customers and crew are our top priorities. We are coordinating with the authorities, and all standard procedures are being followed,” the airline added.
