The airline said the flight to Chicago landed in Nunavut as a precautionary measure after it received an online threat

IQALUIT, Nunavut — Canada’s emergency preparedness minister says the passengers of an Air India flight that landed in Iqaluit due to a bomb threat remain stuck there, and he has approved a request for the military to help them.

Harjit Sajjan posted on X late Tuesday that the airline “hasn’t found a solution” after the plane landed in Nunavut’s capital with 211 passengers on board earlier in the day and that they are “stranded.”
