An IndiGo flight operating from Kuwait to Delhi was diverted to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on Friday morning after a bomb threat was reported on board, officials at the airport said.
Nothing suspicious has been found yet, they said.
The aircraft landed safely around 6.40 AM with 180 passengers on board, an airport official said.
According to the Delhi airport authorities, the flight was diverted to Ahmedabad as a precautionary measure after a passenger found a handwritten note on a piece of paper claiming the presence of a bomb inside the aircraft.
After being informed about the threat, the pilot alerted the air traffic control and the aircraft was diverted to Ahmedabad.
