Virgin plane diverted after bomb scare
A Virgin airlines passenger plane has been diverted to Stansted airport near London and has landed safely after a bomb threat, an airport spokeswoman says. The Virgin Atlantic Airways flight from Hong Kong to London's Heathrow airport with 233 people aboard landed at 5:27 a.m. on Thursday. "I can confirm that a Virgin plane flight VR201 from Hong Kong to Heathrow was diverted to Stansted due a bomb threat," a Stansted spokeswoman told Reuters. "We are starting to offload passengers now." Last month, a bomb threat forced an Olympic Airlines plane to make an emergency landing at Stansted. A search turned up nothing and the plane was later allowed to take off. Stansted is London's designated airport to handle planes involved in security alerts. |
