Surge in Hoax Bomb Threats Hits Indian Airlines

A large rise in hoax bomb threats has caused chaos around the world, with flights having to land in the wrong places or turn around. Now, a hoax bomb threat is where someone says they have put a bomb somewhere, but they're lying. They can cause lots of problems for airlines and passengers because airlines and authorities have to take the threat seriously in case they're real. In the last week, there have been at least 90 fake threats targeting mostly Indian airlines. Now, our first headline is about one of the bomb threats that affected a flight from Mumbai in India to Heathrow in London. This is from The Standard, which is based in the UK. It says, RAF Typhoon fighters scrambled as Heathrow-bound flight latest target of bomb threats. That headline again from The Standard in the UK.
