Hyd -bound Lufthansa flight diverted over bomb threat
London/Hyderabad: A Hyderabad-bound Lufthansa flight made a U-turn and landed back at Frankfurt airport late on Sunday due to a bomb threat, said sources. The bomb threat was received about two hours after Flight LH752 took off from Germany at 2.14 pm local time on Sunday. It was scheduled to land at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport early Monday. However, the passengers were told that the flight was not given 'permission to land' in India. Flight LH752 departed from Germany around 14.14 local time on Sunday and was scheduled to land at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport early Monday but flight tracker data showed a diversion a few hours into the flight. A passenger on board the flight said from Frankfurt Airport that they were being provided overnight accommodation as their flight was rescheduled for Monday morning. 'We just landed back in Frankfurt around 15 minutes ago and all we were told is that Hyderabad hasn't given permission to land the flight there,' said the female passenger en route from the US to visit her mother in Hyderabad. 'It was a smooth flight and after about two hours in the air, we were told that we would be returning to Frankfurt. Now at the airport, they are providing us accommodation for the night and have told us that we will fly out later by the same flight,' she said. There was no immediate comments from authorities in Hyderabad. While Lufthansa has been approached for further updates and reasons behind the aborted flight, a Frankfurt Airport spokesperson confirmed that LH752 had landed back in Germany. 'We can confirm that there was a return to Frankfurt Airport. For further information, please contact the Federal Police or the airline,' the spokesperson said. Lufthansa's live flight tracker on its website showed LH752 landed back at Frankfurt around 1730 local time. According to the website, the aircraft is a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Earlier tracker data for the flight showing it was en route to Hyderabad was updated just before the updated landing information for Frankfurt. The flight tracker website also reflected similar information, though the exact reasons behind the diversion remain unestablished. Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport received a message that the flight was returning to Frankfurt a short while after it had taken off from the German hub airport.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, took off from Frankfurt at 2.15 pm local time and was originally scheduled to arrive in Hyderabad at 6 am IST today morning, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. As per the ANI report, the Lufthansa flight was 'forced' to make a u-turn and return to Frankfurt airport on June 15.
