As it turns out, tourists still haven't learned that some things aren't worth saying either at the airport or on the plane. This was experienced by a passenger who claimed to have a bomb on him.
Due to the bomb threat, the plane had to turn back
The plane, flying from Ibiza to Milan, immediately returned to the departure airport, which was paralyzed for over an hour due to this incident. The incident on the Ryanair flight caused a domino effect. The airport services grounded all planes scheduled to take off at that time.
- Three flights, one from Bilbao, one from London Heathrow, and another from Bologna in Italy, were diverted to Palma - the airport services reported. Air traffic was wholly halted for one hour.
The passenger was arrested at the airport
- Bomb disposal experts verified there was no bomb on board and the passenger, an Italian man, was arrested - a Civil Guard spokesman reported. He faces criminal charges, including exposing the airport to financial losses.
