Three days ago, a Lufthansa flight Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner bound for Hyderabad was forced to make a U-turn and return to Frankfurt Airport after reportedly being denied permission to land in India after a bomb threat alert.

The Hyderabad-bound flight, LH752, departed from Germany at around 14:14 local time and was scheduled to arrive at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport early Monday. However, flight tracker data showed that the flight diverted mid-flight just a few hours into its journey.
