New Delhi: A Delhi-Mumbai Akasa Air flight, carrying more than 180 passengers, including an infant, was diverted to Ahmedabad on Monday following a security alert onboard.

Akasa Air flight QP 1719 landed at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad at 10.13 am following which all passengers were evacuated.

“As per prescribed safety and security procedures, the plane was diverted to Ahmedabad. The Captain followed all required emergency procedures and landed safely at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 10.13 am . All passengers have been deplaned. Akasa Air is following and supporting all safety and security protocols on ground,” the airline said in a statement.

This is the fourth bomb scare incident in the country in the recent past.

On June 1, a Vistara flight from Paris landed in Mumbai amid a full emergency alert after receiving a ‘handwritten’ bomb threat. Two IndiGo flights also made emergency landing in Delhi and Mumbai after receiving similar threats on June 1.
