A major alert was triggered at Zurich airport yesterday.
An anonymous threat was called in, saying there was a bomb onboard a Helvetic Airways plane that had arrived from Warsaw.
The plane landed safely at midday – and all passengers and crew disembarked.
Bomb squad officers from Zurich cantonal police searched the aircraft and didn’t find anything suspicious. The all clear was given at around 5pm.
The incident didn’t disrupt any other flights.
