Turkish Airlines flight TK-65 made an emergency landing at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi after a bomb threat on Tuesday, July 7 as reported to the Air Traffic Controller at 1:15 pm.

The flight was on its way from Bangkok, heading to Istanbul with a total of 148 passengers on board.

The plane, an Airbus 330, landed safely at 1:41 pm today, taken to an isolation bay, sources said, calling it a hoax.

The flight had been taken to the isolation bay at the IGI Airport. The NSG and CISF had cordoned off the plane which was later cleared to take-off.
