Due to the bomb threats, the government has planned to put fake callers on a no-fly list. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu has said that making fake bomb threat calls to airlines will be considered a cognizable offense. The affected flights include services of Akasa Air, Air India, IndiGo, and Vistara operating from Delhi and other places across the country to various domestic and international destinations.
