A statement from IndiGo said, "Flight 6E2518 from Mumbai to Delhi departed late due to a delay in the arrival of incoming aircraft because of bad weather. The subsequent processes of clearances required from Authorities and arrangement of a fresh crew to operate the flight as per guidelines also took time causing further delay."
After the bomb threat at Jayprakash Narayan International Airport, the police scanned the entire area, but no suspicious object was found during the inspection.
