Civil Aviation Secretary A.H. Jang described the hijackers as "menacing".

"They are menacing. Menacing enough for the pilots not to open the cockpit doors," Jang said, adding the parked plane had been "immobilised" by placing trucks in its path.

"We have established contact with the pilots. The cockpit is safe. There are two people who speak little English.

"We have communication with the crew and they stated the hijackers have something in their hands," the official told reporters at New Delhi airport, without elaborating.

Jang said elite National Security Guard commandos ringing the plane had several options -- ranging from "storming the plane" to 'welcoming the hijackers" in case they surrendered.
