A plane that was supposed to land in Bilbao because of a bomb threat has had to make an emergency landing in Lisbon
Two passengers have been arrested for questioning on suspicion that they may have some responsibility in reporting the threat. After a "thorough" search of the plane and luggage, the authorities have confirmed that there are no explosives.
A bomb threat forced an aircraft to take off from the Portuguese Azores archipelago and land in Bilbao to make an emergency landing in Lisbon on Saturday. Passengers have been evacuated, but the authorities have found no explosives, according to Portuguese media and Civil Protection.
A spokesman for the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority has explained that fire detachments have been sent to allow a flight from the Azores to land at the Portuguese airport as a matter of urgency.
According to EiTB, passengers have not been informed of what was happening until they landed in Lisbon, where they were able to observe the approach of fire vehicles and ambulances from the plane.
Despite the odd circumstances, passengers and crew have remained calm at all times.
Sata Azores Airlines said in a statement that its aircraft had to make an emergency landing at Portugal airport because of a "false alarm."
Shortly thereafter, "two passengers have been arrested for questioning, as the police have suspected that they may have some responsibility in reporting the threat," the company said, adding that after a "thorough search" of the plane and luggage, no explosives have been found and the threat has therefore been concluded to be false.
Sata Azores Airlines has added that it is waiting for the entire process to be completed to resume the operation of the damaged flight and has indicated that passengers are being "assisted" at all times.
