A Jet Airways 9W339 Mumbai-Delhi flight has been diverted to Ahmedabad following declaration of emergency as per established security procedures due to detection of an onboard security threat. 

The Jet Airways aircraft landed at Ahmedabad without the report of any untoward incident and was parked at a remote bay where all 115 passengers and 7 crew members have safely deplaned.
