In connection with that, IndiGo Airlines received a bomb threat call in August 2022 for their flight 6E-65 from Chennai to Dubai. The evacuation and search of the entire aircraft added almost 6 hours to the journey, which was carrying about 170 passengers. An IndiGo flight (6E 2126) with a destination of Delhi was reportedly grounded at Patna Airport on July 22, 2022, after a passenger allegedly said he had a bomb in his backpack.
