70 threats have come this week
Let us tell you that since Monday, bomb threats were received on about 70 flights operated by Indian airlines, although later all of them were proved false. Due to this, the routes of the flights had to be changed and their timings had to be changed.
The Civil Aviation Ministry is planning to impose strict rules including putting offenders on a ‘no-fly’ list to prevent incidents of false bomb threats being received by airlines. The purpose of this list is to identify unruly passengers and ban them from boarding the plane.
