Berlin:
A Ryanair passenger plane made an emergency landing in Berlin prior to resuming its journey to Poland, German police stated late Sunday with out releasing additional specifics.
The flight from Dublin to Krakow made the unexpected diversion immediately after a reported bomb threat, German newspaper Bild Zeitung stated.
With 160 individuals on board, the flight arrived at the Berlin-Brandenburg airport shortly immediately after 8 pm (1800 GMT) Sunday, remaining on the tarmac into early Monday morning.
A Berlin police spokesperson stated that officers had completed their safety checks “without any danger being detected”.
“The passengers will resume their journey to Poland on board a spare aeroplane,” she told AFP, with out providing more precise specifics for the alert.
The flight was emptied with the baggage also searched, German media reported.
“The Ryanair plane that made an emergency landed reported an air emergency and was therefore immediately given a landing permit at BER,” airport spokesman Jan-Peter Haack told Bild.
“The aircraft is currently in a safe position,” a spokeswoman for the police told the newspaper.
The incident comes a week immediately after a Ryanair flight was forced to divert to Belarus, with a passenger — a dissident journalist — arrested on arrival.
And in July last year, yet another Ryanair plane from Dublin to Krakow was forced to make an emergency landing in London immediately after a false bomb threat.
