An IndiGo flight from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to Hyderabad was diverted to Mumbai on November 1, 2025, following a hoax bomb threat referencing a "1984 Madras airport-style blast." Flight 6E 68, scheduled to land in Hyderabad at 9:10 am, underwent necessary security checks at Mumbai airport. IndiGo immediately informed relevant authorities and cooperated fully with security protocols. The airline provided passengers with refreshments and regular updates to minimize inconvenience. After clearance, the flight departed and reached Hyderabad around 4 pm. The threat email referenced the 1984 Meenambakkam bomb blast at Chennai (then Madras) airport, a terrorist attack by Sri Lankan separatist group Tamil Eelam Army that killed 33 people on August 2, 1984.
