Earlier, bomb threats were made on three international flights of the aviation company 'Vistara', which later proved to be false. As a precaution, one plane was diverted to Frankfurt. An emergency landing was made at Jaipur airport late on Friday night after a bomb threat was received on an Air India Express plane coming from Dubai to Jaipur. However, after investigation the threat turned out to be a “rumour”.
The Civil Aviation Ministry is planning to impose strict rules to curb incidents of bomb threats on planes and put the perpetrators on the 'no fly' list. DGCA is considering amending the rules to ensure strict action against bomb threat incidents to airlines. Most of the threats have proven to be false. In this regard, the Ministry is considering amending the existing rules including those of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) to ensure strict punishment to the culprits. The official said a proposal to put people making false bomb threats on the airline's 'no-fly' list is under consideration. He also said that legal opinion is being gathered on changing the rules. The ministry is also examining the provisions being adopted in foreign countries to deal with fake bomb threats.
