A bomb threat from a passenger on board leads to an emergency landing of a plane. Air traffic in Ibiza had to be interrupted as a result.

An incident occurred in the Spanish holiday paradise of Ibiza on Thursday that caused significant delays in air traffic. As Metro.uk reports, a passenger on a Ryanair plane that had just taken off for Milan was arrested after claiming to have a bomb on board.

A spokesman for the Guardia Civil described the incident to Metro.uk: “A Ryanair flight to Milan-Bergamo had already taken off when a passenger, who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, claimed he had a bomb on him. The plane returned to Ibiza and the relevant protocols were activated.”

After the bomb alert, which was triggered shortly after 3:30 p.m., no planes were able to land or take off.

Bomb experts confirmed that there was no bomb on board, Metro.uk continued. Three flights were diverted to the neighboring island of Palma de Mallorca for safety reasons. Flight operations did not resume until around 4:30 p.m. local time.

Only a few months ago, a Ryanair plane had to make an emergency landing on the neighboring island of Mallorca – but for technical reasons. The plane, which was on its way from Palma de Mallorca to Hamburg, had to end its flight after just 30 minutes due to engine problems.

“About half an hour after takeoff, a loud noise came from one of the engines and the plane began to jerk,” eyewitnesses who were on board the plane told FOCUS online. “After that, the plane lost a lot of thrust and altitude.”

The pilot then initiated the return flight to the holiday island. The plane flew several circles over Palma airport and the surrounding areas to burn off kerosene and enable a safe landing.
