An aeroplane travelling from Poland to the UK diverted its flight to the Czech Republic after receiving threats of a “possible bomb.”

EasyJet flight EZY6276 was an hour into its two-and-a-half-hour journey when the Airbus A320 aircraft landed at Vaclav Havel Airport Prague.

Security operatives in Czech said its officials carried out a pyrotechnic inspection after EasyJet safety landed at Prague airport on Sunday.

“No dangerous object was found on the plane after the pyrotechnic inspection. At 22:50 a diverted aircraft landed safely on the Prague Airport Krakow-Bristol route,” said the Prague airport in the Czech Republic in a thread of tweets on Sunday.

It added, “There was reported a possible bomb on board an aircraft. All actions to ensure the safety of passengers and all air traffic are currently being carried out by police of the Czech Republic.”
