Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport was placed on high security alert late Sunday following bomb threat emails sent to three incoming flights, airport authorities said. The alert affected two international flights from Europe and one domestic flight from southern India.

The targeted flights included British Airways flight BA 277 from London Heathrow, Lufthansa flight LH 752 from Frankfurt, and IndiGo flight 6E 7178 arriving from Kannur. Despite the alarming emails, all three aircraft completed their journeys safely, with the international flights landing in the early hours of Monday, and the domestic flight touching down without incident.

In response to the threats, airport officials activated full emergency response protocols. Each aircraft was directed to isolated bays, where passengers and luggage underwent thorough security screenings. Fire and rescue units were mobilized, while sniffer dog squads conducted detailed sweeps of the aircraft and surrounding areas. Airport authorities confirmed that these precautionary measures were carried out in accordance with established protocols.

So far, no suspicious items have been detected aboard any of the flights, leading authorities to suspect that the bomb threat emails could be a hoax. The source of the threats remains under investigation, and officials have not yet released further details.

This incident marks the third such scare at Hyderabad airport in under a week. Earlier threats had targeted Emirates’ Dubai-Hyderabad flight and two IndiGo flights arriving from Madina and Sharjah. In those cases, the Sharjah flight was diverted to Mumbai, while the Madinah-Hyderabad IndiGo flight made an emergency landing in Ahmedabad.

Authorities continue to investigate the origins of the recent threat emails and are coordinating with relevant national and international agencies to ensure the safety of passengers and prevent any potential security breaches. Airport security teams have maintained heightened vigilance across the premises, emphasizing that passenger safety remains the top priority.
