An American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi 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.

An American Airlines flight from New York to Delhi carrying 199 passengers and 15 crew members was diverted to Rome on Sunday evening following a 'suspected bomb threat'. It was cleared for departure after an inspection.

Two Italian military fighter jets flanked American Airlines Flight 292 as it arrived but the Federal Aviation Administration did not elaborate on what was the security issue aboard the plane.
