RAF Jets Scramble to Intercept Air India Plane After Bomb Threat

In a dramatic turn of events, Royal Air Force (RAF) Typhoon jets were scrambled to intercept an Air India flight after a bomb threat was reported onboard. The Boeing 777-300, flying from Mumbai to London, circled over Norfolk as Typhoon fighters raced to meet it. The alert was raised when the Air India crew contacted air traffic control, requesting an emergency landing due to a suspected bomb. The RAF jets responded with a supersonic intercept, causing a loud sonic boom heard across Norfolk, rattling windows and shaking buildings. Fortunately, the situation was resolved without incident, and the plane continued to its destination at Heathrow Airport. Air India confirmed that all passengers and crew disembarked safely. This bomb threat is one of many recent hoaxes targeting Indian flights, prompting diversions and security measures across the aviation industry. Authorities are investigating to hold those responsible accountable. #AirIndia #RAF #BombThreat #HeathrowAirport #BreakingN
