Story summary

On July 24, passengers were evacuated from a Jet2 flight bound for Stansted Airport after a passenger claimed they had a bomb in their luggage. The incident occurred at Tenerife South airport, just before the scheduled departure time of 11:20 am. After a delay of about two hours, Spain's civil guard allowed other travelers to reboard the plane and it departed around 1:45 pm local time, landing in Stansted around 6 pm. The flight number was 1536. Jet2 issued an apology for any inconvenience caused by the delay but did not confirm whether the passenger who made the threat was arrested. The incident follows a similar event at Barcelona's El Prat airport earlier that year, where a man yelling "Allahu Akbar" and throwing a backpack sparked panic among holidaymakers.
