An American Airlines flight from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to New Delhi (DEL) was diverted in an emergency to Rome’s Fiumicino Airport after a bomb threat was reported on board, media reported on Monday.
The Boeing 777-300ER, with 285 people on board, was supposed to fly nonstop to India. But mid-flight, flight crew received a tip-off of a possible explosive device on board, and action was taken immediately following international aviation security procedures.
