Passengers of the Delhi-bound American Airlines flight from New York that was diverted to Rome due to a bomb alert on Sunday have been rebooked on other flights, a spokesperson of the Rome airport said on Monday.

Video shows an American Airlines plane landing in Rome with Italian Air Force jets escorting it after a "possible security concern."

The possible issue was determined to be non-credible, but per Delhi Airport protocol, an inspection was required before landing, American Airlines said.
