An American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi, India, landed safely in Rome on Sunday afternoon after it was diverted due to a security concern, which later proved to be “non-credible,” the airline said.

A flight from New York to New Delhi had to be diverted to Rome because of a bomb threat. "This is particularly true if Russia assesses that the US cannot or will not support the European NATO countries in a war with Russia."

American Airlines is likely to operate the flight from Rome to Delhi on Tuesday to ferry the passengers stranded in the Italian capital after its flight from New York to the Indian city was diverted on Sunday due to a suspected bomb threat.
