NEW DELHI: The captain operating an AirAsia India Bengaluru-Delhi flight with about 170 passengers on board on Saturday discovered a note in the lavatory threatening to blow up the aircraft on landing.
The note read, “there is a bomb on board I will blast as soon as it reaches Delhi,” and this flight I5-741 was scheduled to go to Srinagar from the capital. Luckily the Airbus A320 (VT-JRT) landed safely at IGI Airport where it was taken to a remote bay for checks and released for subsequent flights after being declared safe.
