Kochi: A bomb threat was received for Thai Lion Air flight SL211 here on Wednesday.
The passenger issued a threat to airline security staff during the Secondary Ladder Point Check (SLPC) at gate number 19, sources said.
In response to the bomb threat, the Bomb Threat Assessment Committee (BTAC) convened at 0200 hrs at Terminal 3 and declared the threat non-specific.
However, due to the boarding of co-passengers under the same PNR, the committee directed that an SLPC and aircraft check be conducted after deplaning the passengers.
The flight departed at 0430 hrs. As part of the probe, passenger Prasanth was handed over to the police for further proceedings.
