Jet airways flight gets green signal to fly after bomb scare

A Mumbai bound Jet Airways flight, which was stopped at Ahmedabad airport following a bomb scare on Wednesday morning, has been given a green signal to fly.

According to reports, the airline had received a threat call early this morning, after which the bomb squad rushed to the airport and a search operation was launched.

"Jet Airways flight S2 4738 from Ahmedabad to Mumbai received a security alert at Ahmedabad airport. The aircraft was thoroughly inspected by the security agencies and the flight with 125 guests and six crew has now been cleared for departure," Jet Airways said in a statement.

The airline also expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to the passengers and asserted that the safety and security of their 'guests and crew' was always their main priority.

This is the second time in two months that Jet Airways has received calls about bombs being planted in their aircrafts.

Earlier in March, an anonymous person called up the Jet Airways office to say bombs were placed in five of its flights forcing the airline to ground one of them before take-off.
