A mid-air bomb scare that forced a Kuala lumpur-bound Oman Air flight to make an emergency landing at the city airport on Saturday afternoon, proved to be hoax.
Following the bomb threat, the Kuala lumpur-bound aircraft with 190 passengers onboard, made an emergency landing at the Chhatrapati International Airport here at 1.45 pm. Soon after its safe landing, the aircraft was directed to an isolated bay of the airport where cabin luggage was searched and passengers were frisked. The bomb scare was declared as hoax by the airport authorities.
