Flight AI 2030, operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, landed safely in Jaipur at around 9:45 am. The airport is located approximately 280 km from the flight's intended destination in Delhi.
Following the landing, security personnel approached the aircraft cautiously and initiated the necessary safety procedures. Boarding ladders were subsequently brought in to facilitate the evacuation of passengers.
Officials confirmed that all passengers and crew members were safe. The passengers were allowed to disembark only after the aircraft underwent a thorough security check.
The bomb threat prompted precautionary measures as authorities worked to ensure the safety of everyone on board. The threat was subsequently determined to be a hoax, officials said.

Security agencies followed established procedures after the threat was reported, prioritising passenger safety before allowing disembarkation.
Further details regarding the origin of the bomb threat and the circumstances in which it was reported were not immediately available.
The incident comes amid continued security vigilance surrounding commercial aviation, where bomb threats can trigger emergency diversions, security checks and operational disruptions even when they ultimately prove to be false.
