Hyderabad, February 12 Authorities at the Rajiv Gandhi International (RGIA) Airport here have declared a bomb threat a hoax after conducting thorough terminal inspections.
They received an email warning of an explosion at the airport, timed to coincide with the arrival of a Gulf Air flight from Bahrain, police said on Thursday.
The RGIA Airport Customer support received the bomb threat email on Wednesday night from an unknown email address with the subject line "Explosion in Hyderabad Airport Terminals When Gulf Air 274 from Bahrain Lands at RGIA".
"The email threatened an explosion at the airport during the flight's landing. By the time the email was received, the flight had already landed. Security checks were conducted and nothing suspicious was found, and the bomb threat turned out to be a hoax," a police official said.
A case has been registered, police added.
