A trainee ticketing agent of British Airways has been arrested for a hoax bomb call to a SpiceJet flight. After receiving the call, the airlines halted the departure and conducted a thorough search.
But authorities did not find anything suspicious on the plane.
“Security officials thoroughly inspected it and did not find anything suspicious. The call was later declared as a hoax,” a SpiceJet spokesperson said.
Delhi Police had constituted a special team to trace the caller.
The Delhi-Pune SpiceJet was scheduled to depart from the IGI Airport at 6.30 pm yesterday. Minutes before takeoff, a call was received at the SpiceJet reservation office about a bomb in the aircraft.
At that time, boarding of passengers for the flight had not started, an airline spokesperson said in a statement on Friday.
Following the call, the aircraft was moved to an isolation bay and was thoroughly inspected by security officials.
