American Airlines Flight Diverted to Rome Due to Security Concern

An American Airlines flight en route from New York to New Delhi was diverted to Rome on Sunday afternoon amid a security concern that later turned out to be "non-credible," according to the airline.

The flight, which had been carrying passengers across the Atlantic, was redirected to Rome after the captain informed the passengers of a security issue. While the airline did not disclose the specific nature of the concern, it emphasized that protocol required an inspection before the aircraft could continue to its destination in India.
