Mumbai airport on Monday reported three consecutive bomb threats, leading to disruptions in flight schedules and heightened security measures. The scare affected flights operated by Air India and IndiGo, with one aircraft being diverted mid-air and two others delayed prior to takeoff. 

Sources disclosed, “The Bomb Threat Analysis Committee (BTAC) was called in immediately after receiving the first threat at around 1.50 am. While the first IndiGo bomb threat was being analysed, a second threat came in around 2.00 and 2.30 am. Both aircraft were taken to isolation bays. Meanwhile, during the inspection of the two aircraft, a third bomb threat came in, this time to an Air India flight, which was decided to be diverted to Delhi IGI airport for inspection.”
