The two planes searched were Air India Expressâ??s Doha-Thiruvanathapuram-Kozhikode flight and Qatar Airwaysâ??s Doha-Thiruvananthapuram-Doha flight. The passengers were also met by inconveniences as their luggage was checked by the security personnel.
After a tedious search there was no sign of a bomb plantation and it all came out to be a hoax. The security at the airport was also stepped up.
The situation was better and under control till last reports reached here at 1.00 p.m. The flight schedule has been restored after short delays at the airport.
