Air India Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Arctic Circle After Bomb Threat Amid Tensions with Canada

An Air India flight en route to Chicago was forced to make an emergency landing in the Arctic Circle due to a bomb threat, as diplomatic tensions between India and Canada continue to rise.

Air India Flight A127, which had departed from Delhi, made an unscheduled landing in Iqaluit, the remote capital of Nunavut, after receiving a bomb threat via social media. The alarming message was posted by an anonymous X user, @schizobomber777, stating: “AirIndia @DelhiPolice @CellDelhi There are bombs onboard Flight a127. The bombs will soon go off. The flight departed Delhi and is going towards Chicago. You will all Die. This is extremely serious.”

Upon receiving the threat, Air India immediately took precautionary measures, diverting the flight for an emergency landing. The 211 passengers and crew safely disembarked, and security protocols were activated, according to reports from The Guardian.

“The aircraft and the passengers are being re-screened as per the laid down security protocols. Air India has activated agencies at the airport to assist passengers until such time that their journey can resume,” Air India posted on X.

This flight was just one of seven Air India flights to receive similar threats on X, as the same user targeted multiple flights. In one of the threats, the user stated, “I placed bombs onboard of Flight IX765. The bombs will go off very soon. Blood will spread everywhere. Hurry up and evacuate, you don’t have much time left.”

Fortunately, other threatened flights were able to make emergency landings at various airports, and no incidents occurred.

This series of threats brings to mind the tragic 1985 Air India bombing, which claimed the lives of 329 people, leaving a lasting scar in aviation history. While the current threats were managed with swift emergency protocols, the echoes of that tragedy linger.

These recent threats come at a time of growing tensions between Canada and India. Just a day earlier, both countries expelled several diplomats following the Canadian government’s decision to investigate a criminal conspiracy linked to the assassination of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2023. The Canadian government alleges that Indian nationals were involved in the plot, a claim strongly denied by the Indian government, which had previously labeled Nijjar as a terrorist due to his ties to a Sikh separatist group.

As authorities in both countries continue to navigate these political and security challenges, the aviation industry must remain vigilant in addressing threats and ensuring the safety of all passengers.
