And the third bomb scare of the day.There's been a bomb scare on the Bengaluru-Goa Air Asia flight. Bengaluru Airport received a message of a potential bomb threat on the Goa-bound Air Asia I5 1721. Aircraft and  baggage hold were thoroughly screened, says BIAL.

This morning, two flights, one each of Air India and Jet Airways, were grounded just before their departure for Kathmandu from Delhi, following a bomb scare. Airport sources said that the two flights were halted after the Jet Airways security office at Indira Gandhi International Airport received an anonymous call saying there was a "bomb threat" to Air India flight AI-215 and Jet Airways flight 9W 260.

The two flights were scheduled to take off for the Nepalese capital at 1.15 pm and 1.25 pm, respectively.

On Saturday the same flight of Jet Airways was delayed by six hours due to the grounding of the plane after a bomb threat call, which turned out to be a hoax.
