Bomb threat made on Iran-China plane but pilot refuses to land
The Independent says A bomb threat was made on a flight from Iran to China this morning, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has reported.
The threat was made onboard an Air Mahan service from Tehran to Guangzhou at around 9.20am local time in India, said the IAF, with local airports put on alert for a diversion.
Initially the pilot of the flight asked for permission to land in Delhi, which they were denied.
The IAF said the pilot then refused two further opportunities to land at other Indian airports.
The alert prompted the Indian Air Force to scramble fighter jets, which followed the aircraft at a safe distance as it proceeded through Indian airspace.
