Air India`s flight AI127 from Delhi to Chicago made an emergency landing in Iqaluit, Canada, on October 15 due to an online security threat. The landing was a precautionary measure, and all 211 passengers and crew were safely evacuated and re-screened according to security protocols. The airline reported that it, along with other local airlines, had received several threats in recent days. Fortunately, Air India later confirmed that the threat was a hoax. The airline plans to take legal action against those responsible to recover the costs incurred from the incident. This situation comes at a time of heightened diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, following the killing of a wanted terrorist, Nijjar. Air India emphasized its commitment to passenger safety and security amidst these challenges.

Security agencies at the airport were placed on high alert to ensure passenger safety. Following established protocols, the aircraft underwent thorough security checks. Passengers received assistance and refreshments while waiting for the situation to be resolved. IndiGo Airlines expressed regret for the inconvenience caused, emphasizing their commitment to safety and security. The swift response by security personnel highlights the importance of vigilance in aviation security. As investigations continued, both flights were delayed, but no threats were ultimately found, allowing passengers to eventually proceed with their journeys.
