Bomb threat email to Hyderabad airport turns out to be hoax

Authorities at the Rajiv Gandhi International (RGIA) Airport on Hyderabad outskirts have declared a bomb threat a hoax after conducting thorough terminal inspections. They received an email warning of a blast at the airport timed to the arrival of a Gulf Air flight from Bahrain, police said on Thursday (February 12, 2026).

The RGI Airport Customer support received the bomb threat email on Wednesday night, from an unknown email id with the message titled “Blast in Hyderabad Airport Terminals When Gulf Air 274 From Bahrain Lands to RGIA”.

“The email threatened of a blast at the airport at the time of flight landing. By the time the email was received, the flight had already landed. Security check was carried out and nothing suspicious was found, and the bomb threat turned out to be a hoax,” a police official said. A case was registered, police added.
