Air India Flight from Toronto Makes Emergency Landing in Delhi After Bomb Threat
A routine international journey turned into a high-alert situation when an Air India flight operating from Toronto to Delhi received a bomb threat on Wednesday. The aircraft, carrying passengers across continents, was successfully escorted to a safe landing at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital.
Mid-Air Security Scare Over the Atlantic
According to official sources, the alarming message was received by authorities at approximately 11:30 am on Wednesday, November 13, 2025. At that critical moment, the flight was already mid-air over the Atlantic Ocean. The aircraft, identified as a Boeing 777, was little over four hours away from its final destination in Delhi when the threat was communicated to the cockpit and security agencies.
Immediate protocols were activated following the threat. The airline crew was alerted, and relevant security agencies on the ground were notified to prepare for a potential emergency. The flight continued its journey towards India under a heightened state of alert, with all necessary precautions being taken onboard.
Safe Landing and Swift Response in Delhi
The large wide-body aircraft touched down safely at the Delhi airport in the afternoon. Upon landing, the aircraft was directed to an isolated bay as a standard security procedure, away from the main terminal building. A full emergency response was initiated, with security personnel and bomb disposal squads rushing to the site to conduct a thorough sweep of the aircraft.
Passengers were safely deplaned and moved to a secure area. An extensive investigation has been launched to verify the source and credibility of the threat. Officials have confirmed that all passengers and crew are safe and that operations at the Delhi airport were minimally disrupted.
This incident highlights the robust security protocols followed by Indian aviation authorities and the efficiency of emergency response teams in handling such critical situations, ensuring passenger safety remains the top priority.
