Airport officials approached the plane carefully and allowed the passengers to exit. Security staff was on standby at levels comparable to that of a potential hijacking.
A separate Indian Express article noted that preliminary reports indicate that the aircraft may have accidentally activated an alarm indicating a hijacking. Authorities are now investigating whether it was a random occurrence.
Was Air India safe after landing?
Yes. Airport officials confirmed that all passengers and the crew on board were safe. Following the emergency landing, Jaipur police inspected the plane and allowed travelers to leave escorted by police.
An Indian Express report noted that an airport official said, “The situation is under control. Passengers and their relatives need not panic at all.” Security staff guided the passengers to the terminal building where baggage inspection and other standard security measures were done and there was no confirmation of finding any bomb in the aircraft in any of the reports.
What did Air India respond to affected passengers?

Passengers facing difficulties may want to check the status of their flights and contact the airline directly for assistance. No further information on when the plane will continue its journey to Delhi was provided in the reports.
Is resolution of the rerouting of the flight underway?
NDTV reported that the bomb scare on the Frankfurt–Delhi flight was a hoax. At the same time, The Indian Express noted that authorities had opened an investigation to determine whether the hijacking alarm on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was triggered by human error.
That is not to say that the two statements are not connected. Though the incident appears to have been dealt with on the ground as all the passengers were evacuated safely, an explanation for the alert is still being investigated as of latest reports.
