An Air India flight departing New Delhi for Chicago was forced to make an emergency landing in Canada due to a false bomb threat on Tuesday (15).
The incident occurred amid growing diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
Between crew and passengers, the aircraft carried 211 people and landed at an airport in northern Canada after receiving a threat alert. All occupants were transferred to other flights.
Series of false alerts
The incident involving an Air India plane is not an isolated case. In recent days, several Indian airlines have faced similar situations, including delays and route diversions due to a series of false bomb alerts.
The episode takes place at a delicate moment in relations between India and Canada.
Recently, the Canadian government took the decision to expel six Indian diplomats from the country due to accusations related to a homicide.
Authorities in both countries are investigating the origin of these false alerts.
