INDC Network : New Delhi : Bomb Threats Rock Aviation Industry: A Week of Chaos and Disruption
In a span of just six days, over 70 bomb threats have been reported against both domestic and international flights, sending shockwaves across the aviation industry. From Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport to other key locations, the alarming increase in threats has left passengers and airlines on edge, with Delhi Police and aviation authorities working around the clock to manage the crisis.
On Saturday, the situation reached a tipping point when a Bengaluru-bound Akasa Air flight carrying 180 passengers received a bomb threat, prompting immediate action. The Delhi Police's Cyber Cell and Intelligence Fusion & Strategic Operations (IFSO) teams swiftly intensified their investigation. A dedicated unit has been formed to probe the source of these threats, many of which are suspected to have been posted through Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and dark web browsers. These tools allow the perpetrators to remain anonymous and post threats from multiple accounts, primarily on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

In response, the police have requested cooperation from social media platforms, asking them to suspend the threatening accounts and share any IP address information that could lead to the culprits. This collaboration is crucial, as the culprits are believed to have set up more than one account to post false threats, further complicating the investigation.
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has convened urgent meetings with airline CEOs to address the situation, and the civil aviation ministry is now planning to implement strict rules to prevent future hoax bomb threats. These measures could include adding individuals responsible for such acts to the no-fly list, ensuring they cannot disrupt flights again.
Airlines such as Air India, Vistara, IndiGo, Akasa Air, SpiceJet, Star Air, and Alliance Air have been among the most affected, with flights being grounded, moved to isolation bays, and strict security protocols enacted, causing significant inconvenience to passengers.
