Bomb Hoax Disrupts Air Canada Flight From Delhi To Toronto

NEW DELHI, (IANS) – In yet another incident, an email was received regarding a bomb in a Air Canada flight scheduled to depart for Toronto from IGI airport on June 4, an official said, adding that it turned out to be a hoax.

Police said that at 10:50 p.m. on Tuesday, the Delhi International Airport Limited office at IGI airport received an email with the threat of a bomb inside an Air Canada flight that was scheduled to depart for Toronto.

“Following standard security protocols, a thorough inspection was conducted and nothing suspicious was found,” police said.

This comes a day after an Akasa Air flight, flying from Delhi to Mumbai on carrying 186 passengers — one infant and six crew members on board — was diverted to Ahmedabad airport after a bomb threat was received.
