A Turkish Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Barcelona Thursday morning after a passenger created a hoax threat by setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot suggesting there was a “bomb threat” on board, according to airline officials.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The emergency protocol was alerted when Flight 1853 was already approaching its intended designation at Barcelona-El Prat Airport from Istanbul.\u00a0Euronews<\/u><\/a> said the Airbus A321, which was carrying 148 passengers and seven crew members, was directed to a designated area for inspection upon landing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“\u200b\u200bIt was detected that a passenger had created an in-flight internet access point and named the network in a way that included a bomb threat,” Yahya \u00dcst\u00fcn, senior vice president of communications at Turkish Airlines<\/a>, said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Simpleflying<\/u><\/a> reported that the flight was cruising over the\u00a0Mediterranean when a flight crew member noticed an alarming Wi-Fi name that reportedly said, “I have a bomb, everyone will die.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Necessary safety procedures were immediately initiated following the alert,\u00a0\u00dcst\u00fcn\u00a0said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The aircraft was then\u00a0escorted by two fighter jets, one Spanish<\/a> and one French, during the emergency protocol, Euronews reported.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following the aircraft\u2019s safe landing, response crews inspected the plane and worked to identify the passenger who created the threatening Wi-Fi hotspot name, airline officials<\/a> said. The operation involved Spanish authorities such as personnel from the Civil Guard, the National Police and Catalonia\u2019s regional police and fire services, according to Euronews.<\/p>\n

According to footage from the scene, a dog was deployed to examine the passenger’s luggage<\/a> on the tarmac.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, “no irregularities were found” following a thorough inspection, according to officials.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our aircraft’s return flight will be carried out after the completion of passenger boarding,”\u00a0\u00dcst\u00fcn said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Operations at Barcelona-El Prat Airport resumed normally following the explosive scare, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n
