Over 200 Air India passengers are expected to land in Chicago this morning after their flight was rerouted to Nunavut due to a bomb threat.

The airline provided an update overnight through social media, expressing gratitude to the Royal Canadian Air Force for assisting in transporting the 211 passengers from Flight 127 to their final destination.

With Iqaluit unable to accommodate such a large number of unexpected guests, Ottawa approved the use of military resources to aid the stranded travelers.

The diversion of the flight from New Delhi occurred early Tuesday morning as a precautionary measure.

Air India mentioned that they, along with other airlines, have been targeted with “a number of threats” recently, all of which turned out to be false alarms.

The airline’s update also extended thanks to Canadian authorities and individuals at the Iqaluit International Airport for their support and assistance.
