Air India flight makes emergency landing in Thailand after bomb threat

An Air India flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Thailand after a bomb threat was discovered onboard. The aircraft, operating as AI379 from Phuket to Delhi, took off around 9:30 AM but had to return shortly after takeoff when a suspicious note warning of a bomb was found in the aircraft's lavatory.

The crew immediately alerted airport authorities, and emergency protocols were initiated. The flight made a safe landing back at Phuket airport, and all passengers were safely evacuated. Authorities are now conducting thorough checks on the aircraft, luggage, and cabin to rule out any threat.

This incident comes just a day after another major aviation tragedy involving Air India flight AI171, which crashed in Ahmedabad, raising heightened concerns over passenger safety. Sources suggest passengers on AI379 included nationals from India as well as other countries, but no injuries have been reported.
