Trend: Turkish Airlines plane makes emergency landing in Belgrade

A MUP bomb squad searched the aircraft and found nothing suspicions.

The aircaft was in the Indian airspace when a crew member noticed “bomb in cargo hold” written on the mirror of aircraft’s washroom, the source added.

“We have been warned that there is “Bomb on board” can we make an emergency landing at Nagpur’s Babasaheb Ambedkar worldwide airport?”

An American Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Palm Beach worldwide Airport Monday after a problem with one of the aircraft’s flaps.

All 148 passengers and crew were immediately evacuated after the plane landed safely in an isolated area at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi global Airport following the third bomb scare to hit the airline this year.

Turkish Airlines, in a statement, however, said there were 134 passengers on board the Airbus 330 plane.

“Passengers have been asked to evacuate the plane, the drill is taking place right now”, Hemendra Singh, spokesman for the federal Central Industrial Security Forces, told Reuters. “Our all security agencies working in coordination”, he said. Emergency had been declared at IGI Airport and security agencies, including CISF and NSG, had been put on high alert.

All baggage, especially handbags, were searched “to match the lipstick tone and colour which was used to write the threat message”, a source said. The Ministry of Home Affairs has closely monitored the situation.
