Mahan Air A340 Receives Bomb Threat Over India (One Mile at a Time)

A Mahan Air Airbus A340-600 received a bomb threat over Indian airspace, while enroute from Iran to China. Here's what happened.

Eventually authorities in Tehran told Indian officials to ignore the bomb scare, at which point the flight continued on its way. Here’s my question — when is the last time an airplane bomb threat was determined to be accurate? Instead the Mahan Air jet was offered a diversion to Jaipur (JAI) or Chandigarh (IXC), which was rejected. The Mahan Air pilots allegedly asked to divert to New Delhi (DEL), but were denied. “IAF fighter aircraft were scrambled, which followed the aircraft at a safe distance. According to a statement from the IAF:

Mahan Air bomb hoax: Reasons why fighter jets are scrambled to ... (Zee News)

Although it was announced as a bomb hoax, the IAF Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets escorted the Mahan Air flight till they exited Indian airspace safely.

The domestic air force of the country over which the plane is flying, like the IAF in case of Mahan Air when they were passing over India, will quickly scramble the jets who will make visual contact with the pilots to understand the issue. This is what happened in the case of Mahan Air flight from Iran to China, where they were given options to land in India at two airports outside of Delhi. The Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets intercepted the plane while maintaining a safe distance and escorted the Airbus A340 till the time it left the Indian borders on the Eastern side, only to land in China safely. The civil aviation around the globe is considered one of the safest mode of transport due to elaborate security and safety measures taken by countries. The IAF, on the other hand, following the SOPs, scrambled fighter jets from Punjab and Rajasthan to intercept the commercial plane and ensure its smooth exit from the Indian airspace. Although the ATC alerted Delhi Airport for a possible emergency landing, the pilots were not allowed to land in Delhi to its sensitive nature and were asked land at the Jaipur or Chandigarh airports.
