In the past week, over 19 bomb threats against multiple Indian airlines have emerged, causing diversions and delays across several nations. While they have been confirmed as hoaxes, the frequency and timing have raised alarms amid rising tensions between India and Canada, particularly over Sikh separatist activities, recalling a tragic aviation incident from decades past.
As part of the ongoing crisis, Air India flights have been specifically targeted, with threats emerging across social media platforms. International flights, including one from New Delhi to Chicago, had to divert due to these threats. Authorities in Canada have responded by deploying Air Force resources to ensure passenger safety.
The unprecedented surge in bomb threats against Indian airlines highlights a concerning trend where security protocols are tested amidst geopolitical issues. The historic link between India, Canada, and Sikh separatism complicates the current situation, drawing attention to past incidents that evoke fear and anxiety within the aviation sector.
