The officials said the flights to London, Paris and Hong Kong from Delhi received bomb threats that later turned out to be hoaxes.

“Vistara flight UK17 operating from Delhi to London was diverted to Frankfurt as a precautionary measure. The aircraft landed at Frankfurt Airport safely and we fully cooperated with the authorities to complete the necessary checks, following which the flight was cleared to conclude the journey,” the spokesperson said.

The flight later landed in London at around 11:40 p.m. local time on Friday (October 18, 2024).

The airline also said the flight UK21 operating from Delhi to Paris landed safely at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. The aircraft was taken to the isolation bay for the mandatory security checks and then later cleared to resume operations.

According to the airline, the flight UK161 operating from Delhi to Hong Kong landed safely at the Hong Kong International Airport and all security procedures were adhered to.
