A Dubai-Jaipur Air India Express flight made an emergency landing at the airport here in the early hours of Saturday due to a bomb threat, which later turned out to be a hoax, officials said.
After authorities were alerted about the bomb threat, an emergency was declared at the Jaipur airport. The flight with 189 passengers onboard landed safely at the airport at 1.20 am, an official said.
The plane was checked thoroughly but nothing suspicious was found, he said.
