A British Airways London‑to‑Hyderabad flight (BA 277) received a bomb threat email on December 22, triggering major airport security protocols at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad. The airline and airport customer support team received the anonymous email before landing, prompting safety teams to act quickly.
Despite the threat, the aircraft landed safely with all passengers and crew aboard. After touchdown, officials implemented standard bomb threat safety procedures, including isolating the plane, screening passengers, checking baggage, and using sniffer dogs to search for explosives. Fire emergency units were also on standby to ensure prompt response.
Local authorities have not found any explosive devices, and initial reports suggest the threat may be a hoax. The flight has since departed back to London. Security teams continue their investigation, reviewing the source of the email and strengthening safeguards to protect travellers.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns over aviation security and the importance of rapid response measures at major airports. Hyderabad airport officials emphasized that passenger safety remains the highest priority as they work to prevent future threats.
