Phuket: New Delhi-bound Air India flight makes emergency landing in Thai island after bomb threat

The incident was reported a day after a London-bound Air India flight crashed near the Ahmedabad International Airport shortly after takeoff, in which more than 240 people were killed

The Week, June 13, 2025 : An Air India flight from Phuket in Thailand to New Delhi made an emergency landing after receiving a bomb threat on Friday.

There were a total of 156 passengers on board flight AI 379, who were escorted off the plane in line with emergency procedures, an Airports of Thailand official reportedly told news agency Reuters.

The aircraft took off from Phuket Airport at 9:30 a.m. local time on Friday but made a wide loop around the Andaman Sea and landed back on the southern Thai island, according to flight tracker Flightradar24. However, it landed back at the Phuket International Airport at 1146 (local time), according to the website.

Air India did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Indian airlines and airports were inundated with hoax bomb threats last year, receiving nearly 1,000 false alerts in the first 10 months—nearly 10 times the number reported in 2022.
