The flight, 6E2706, took off from Kochi airport at 9:20 am and was to land in Delhi by 12:35 pm. The passengers were safely deplaned at Nagpur, and an investigation is now underway.
Sources said that the Delhi-bound IndiGo flight said it received a bomb threat on Tuesday morning, with the flight number mentioned.
A meeting was convened, as per procedure, and found that threat was specific as flight number was given. The flight had already taken off from Kochi, and thus it was diverted to Nagpur.
