Phuket/IBNS: A New Delhi-bound Air India flight from Phuket made an emergency landing in Thailand after receiving a bomb threat on Friday, media reports said.

The AI 379 plane with 156 passengers onboard returned to Phuket, a Thailand city, after a wide loop over the Andaman Sea.

The aircraft took off from Phuket at 9:30 am local time.

All passengers were evacuated safely.

However, no details about the bomb threat are available. Air India is yet to respond to the media reports.

This happened a day after a London-bound Air India flight- AI 171- carrying 242 passengers and crew members crashed near the Ahmedabad airport within seconds after take-off in the largest city of Gujarat.

One but all people who were onboard died in the crash, which is one of the worst such incidents to have taken place in the South Asian country.

A British-Indian, the passenger of seat No. 11A,  survived the crash miraculously, the Ahmedabad Police said.

The person has been identified as 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who was returning to the UK after his Indian visit.

In the horrific videos that have surfaced, a thick smoke is seen rising from the areas close to the airport.

In a video that has captured the moment of the crash, the private carrier is seen losing the elevation near the airport and ultimately crashes into the residential quarters of a medical college causing a massive fire outbreak.
