NDTV
Ram Mohan Naidu said safety is the government's top priority and it is trying to minimise inconvenience.
After nearly 100 flights received bomb threats in seven days since October 14, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu has said safety is the government's top priority and rules are being amended to put people who make such calls on the no-fly list.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, Mr Naidu said even though the threats have turned out to be hoaxes, there is a strict protocol that is followed by his department and airlines. "It is a very sensitive situation when it comes to such threats, there is an international procedure that we have to follow," he said.
The minister said multiple meetings have been held with stakeholders since the spate of calls began and amendments are being considered in the Aircraft (Security) Rules so that the people making such threats can be put on the no-fly list after they are identified.
