Overview

  • Hyderabad Airport reported three threat emails within roughly 12 hours, including alerts for British Airways BA277 and Kuwait Airways KU373.
  • BA277 from Heathrow landed at 5:25 a.m. and underwent full checks, with officials later calling the threat a hoax.
  • KU373 from Kuwait returned to its departure airport after the threat was received on the RGIA customer support email.
  • An Air India DelhiHyderabad flight (AI‑2879) received a threat the previous evening, landed safely, and was moved to an isolation bay after the BTAC classified the alert as specific.
  • An Emirates flight from Dubai (EK526) also faced an emailed threat on Friday, landed safely under standard protocols, and searches across affected aircraft have found no explosives as police register cases and probe the anonymous senders.
