Monday, 3 February 2025 In 2024, 13 people were arrested in connection with hoax bomb threats to airlines, according to the Indian government. A total of 728 bomb threats were reported, with 714 targeting domestic carriers. IndiGo received the highest number of threats (216), followed by Air India (179) and Vistara (153).

Heathrow airport shutdown has forced Air India flights to return, following a fire that caused a power outage at an electrical substation. The closure, which lasts until March 21 midnight, has disrupted global air travel. Air India has canceled flights and diverted others, while Heathrow advises passengers not to travel. The London Fire Brigade deployed 70 firefighters to contain the blaze, with no cause identified yet. At least 120 inbound flights were diverted, affecting thousands of travelers. Flight disruptions continue, impacting major airlines worldwide.
