“A crew member found “bomb” written on a piece of paper on the flight, after which it made an emergency landing at Ahmedabad Airport. The flight was carrying 107 passengers and six crew members. They were made to disembark,” Airport police inspector A.D. Chavda said.

“The local police and CISF were carrying out a search on the plane and nothing suspicious had been found so far,” officials said.

“Following the declaration of the full emergency, the necessary emergency response arrangements were initiated to facilitate the safe arrival of the aircraft,” the statement said. 

At 11.37 p.m., the aircraft landed safely at the Chennai airport.
