Major Security Breach, Cartridge Found On Aircraft That Landed In Delhi

New Delhi: One ammunition cartridge was found in the pocket of a seat on Air India flight AI916 that arrived at Delhi from Dubai, an Air India spokesperson said on Saturday.

The flight landed at the New Delhi Airport on October 27. According to the airlines, all passengers disembarked safely.

“A complaint was immediately lodged with the Airport Police by Air India strictly adhering to the laid down security protocols,” the spokesperson stated.

A cartridge is a type of ammunition that has a projectile, propellant, and primer within a metal casing. Such items are strictly prohibited on aircraft.

The development comes amid a wave of threats targeting more than 400 flights in the country. All these threats turned out to be false alarms. Circulated on social media, these threats prompted quick responses from both aviation and digital authorities.
