Air India Frankfurt-Delhi Flight Diverted to Jaipur After False Hijack Alert
An Air India flight from Frankfurt to Delhi was diverted to Jaipur on October 14 after the pilot briefly transmitted Squawk Code 7500, signaling unlawful interference or hijacking. The Boeing 787-9 aircraft landed safely and was moved to an isolation bay for security checks. Authorities later determined the hijack alert was a false alarm, possibly due to a technical glitch or inadvertent activation. All passengers and crew were cleared after thorough inspections, and the flight resumed to Delhi. Investigations by aviation agencies are ongoing.
