Kolkata-Mumbai flight moved to isolation bay after hijack warning found

An Air India aircraft preparing to fly from Kolkata to Mumbai was moved to an isolation bay on November 11 after cabin crew found a hijack warning in a lavatory.

The 105 passengers were taken off the aircraft while security personnel, firefighters and bomb-disposal specialists carried out checks. Passenger baggage was also inspected.

Officials said nothing suspicious had been found by 1.30pm local time. The discovery of a warning does not establish that an actual hijacking occurred.
