In the afternoon of 23 February, a security threat on board American Airlines flight AA292 between New York’s JFK airport and Delhi, India, forced the aircraft, a Boeing 787-9 (registered N840AN), to divert to Rome Fiumicino in Italy.
Two Eurofighters of the Italian Air Force scrambled to guide the aircraft towards the Italian capital. A post-flight security check revealed no dangerous devices were located on board.
The security threat was received by e-mail, but later deemed unfounded.
The flight will stay overnight in Rome to allow for required crew rest before continuing to Delhi on Monday with its 199 passengers and 15 crew, American Airlines said.
