A Delhi-bound IndiGo flight from Lucknow was delayed on Thursday after a bomb threat note written on tissue paper was found inside the aircraft toilet, prompting a full-scale security response just before take-off. The threat later turned out to be a hoax.
Flight 6E2111, scheduled to depart from Lucknow for Delhi at 10:45 am with around 180 passengers on board, was delayed after a handwritten note on a tissue paper claiming that a bomb was present on the aircraft was discovered inside one of the toilets.
According to sources, the boarding process had already been completed when the crew was alerted about the note. The incident occurred at around 11:47 am at Lucknow Airport. The Bomb Threat Assessment Committee (BTAC) was immediately alerted, and other concerned agencies were informed.
Following standard operating procedures, bomb detection and disposal squad personnel evacuated the passengers and all those on board were deboarded. Security agencies then carried out a thorough inspection of the aircraft.
After extensive searches and investigations, authorities found nothing suspicious and concluded that the threat was a hoax, sources said.
Confirming the incident, an IndiGo spokesperson said, "Shortly before take-off, a security threat was noticed onboard IndiGo flight 6E 2111 scheduled to operate from Lucknow to Delhi on June 12, 2026. Following the established protocol, we informed the relevant authorities immediately and are fully cooperating with them in carrying out the necessary security checks."
