Ten Indigo flights are under scanner after warnings that they have bombs on board.
A flight from Srinagar is currently undergoing security check at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International airport. The flight 6E853 was coming to Delhi via Jammu.
The warning was received at the Indigo call centre in Chennai, said airport sources.
The flights being grounded are:
6E 591 DEL-CCU-DIB
6E 516 COK-DEL-IXC
6E 853 SXR-IXJ-DEL
6E 443 DEL-MAA
6E135 NAG-PNQ-AMD-CCU
6E 223 BOM-COK
6E 612 MAA-BOM
6E-329 DEL-GOA
6E 571 DEL-DIB-GAU
6E 161 DEL-AMD-GOA
This scare comes a day after five Jet Airways flights were grounded and checked following a hoax call at Delhi Airport after bombings at Brussels Airport and metro station.
Every flight that receives a bomb threat is grounded and a thorough check is done. The process costs the airline Rs.7 lakh per hour and requires at least 5 hours for an extensive check of aircraft.
