NEW DELHI: As many as 145 passengers of a Sharjah-bound flight had to be called back at Delhi airport on Wednesday evening for another round of security check following a phone call about a bomb being planted on board the aircraft.
The call turned out to be a hoax.
The Indian Airlines flight IC 883 was scheduled to depart at 5-30 p.m. from the international airport.
The security drill had to be carried out once the call about the bomb was received. All the passengers were checked again. The entire baggage was thoroughly scanned. The aircraft was also changed and the flight eventually took off at around 10 p.m., an airline official said.
