A passenger at Cochin International Airport was detained after making a verbal bomb threat on Monday, adding to the recent surge in hoax bomb threats on flights across India. The threat, which turned out to be a false alarm, caused a flight delay and prompted authorities to initiate an investigation. This incident comes amidst a wave of similar threats, with over 100 flights receiving bomb threats in the past week, raising concerns about aviation security and causing significant disruption to air travel.
