Kolkata. A security alert was issued at the airport on Wednesday morning after a threatening note was found on an Air India flight scheduled to travel from Kolkata to Mumbai. The handwritten message, found in the aircraft’s washroom, threatened to hijack the plane. As soon as the information was received, the pilot informed Air Traffic Control (ATC). Security agencies then immediately initiated the prescribed security procedure.
According to information, the flight was scheduled to depart from Kolkata at 10:20 a.m. The note found in the aircraft’s washroom stated that the plane would be hijacked at 11:10 a.m. According to Kolkata airport director Vikram Singh, all passengers on board were safely deplaned after the note was found.
The aircraft was moved from the regular operational area and parked in an isolation bay, where security agencies began a detailed inspection. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and other security teams are engaged in searching the aircraft. The purpose of the inspection is to detect any suspicious object or possible threat.
An investigation is under way into who wrote the threatening note and who may be behind it. For now, further action will be decided only after security agencies complete their checks and the aircraft receives clearance.
