On Saturday morning, the police in Tromsø received a report of a bomb threat against a Norwegian plane at Tromsø Airport.
The emergency services rushed to the airport, and the plane in question was evacuated.
– Along the way, information emerged that a photo with text referring to a bomb was a communication to a random passenger on board, the police write on Twitter.
The police are in contact with the sender of the photo and have the situation under control.
– I can confirm that we received a bomb threat against a flight that was supposed to go from Tromsø to Las Palmas this morning. The plane never took off and it taxied back to the gate and was emptied of passengers.
That’s what Silje Glorvigen in the communications department at Norwegian tells Nordlys.
She currently has no further details about the incident.
