Hyderabad: A major security alert unfolded at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) on Friday after a bomb threat email targeted a Lufthansa (LH) flight operating from Frankfurt Airport (FRA) to Hyderabad.
Authorities immediately activated emergency response procedures after the airline’s customer support reportedly received an email claiming an explosive device had been planted aboard flight LH754.
The aircraft landed safely in Hyderabad before being escorted to an isolation bay for a comprehensive security inspection.
Bomb disposal squads, airport security personnel, and law enforcement agencies conducted anti-sabotage checks on the aircraft, while officials confirmed that no immediate threat had been detected during the initial sweep.
Airport sources told multiple Indian media outlets that the threatening email warned the device would detonate before the aircraft reached Shamshabad, where Hyderabad’s international airport is located. Security agencies were placed on high alert immediately after the message was received.
After touchdown, the aircraft was isolated away from the passenger terminal in accordance with international aviation security procedures.
Officials deployed bomb disposal teams and conducted a methodical inspection of the cabin, cargo compartments, and passenger baggage.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the threat was credible, although preliminary inspections reportedly found no suspicious object onboard. Investigators are now attempting to trace the origin of the email while aviation security agencies continue additional checks.
