A Turkish Airlines jet flying from Istanbul to Sao Paulo, Brazil, made an emergency landing in Casablanca, Morocco, after a note with a bomb threat on it was found in the plane’s toilet, reports say.
A note was reportedly found in the toilet cabin, with the word 'Bomb' written on it, the Turkish Airlines press office said, which made the plane to make an emergency landing shortly after. The terrifying threat is the second to hit the company in less than a day.
It was reported that yesterday morning, Turkish Airlines Flight TK52 from Istanbul to Tokyo was forced to return to Ataturk International Airport just moments after taking off. The crew received a message that “C-4 cargo” was on board, and immediately alerted authorities. There has been no update on whether or not these threats were true or false.
The AirLive.net Twitter account, which shares aviation news, said that the TK15 jet reportedly landed safely at Casablanca.
The Boeing 777 with 256 passengers on board landed in the North African city at about 12:30 GMT.
Police teams searched the entire cargo but didn’t find any bombs.
And the passengers have embarked again on the plane and the flight just took off from Casablanca and well on its way to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
