Alarm fÃ¼r AbfangjÃ¤ger: Britische Boeing umgeleitet
Die britischen BehÃ¶rden haben am Mittwoch ein Passagierflugzeug nach einem Sicherheitsalarm auf einen schottischen Flugplatz umgeleitet. Ein Bericht, wonach es sich um eine Geiselnahme handelt, wurde vorerst nicht bestÃ¤tigt. Die Maschine landete nach Polizeiangaben auf dem Flughafen Prestwick, rund 50 Kilometer von Glasgow entfernt.

Die Passagiere verlieÃŸen laut einem Bericht der Nachrichtenagentur Press Asscociation nach der Landung das Flugzeug, eine Boeing 737. Niemand sei zu Schaden gekommen. Der Flughafen bleibe aber bis auf weiteres geschlossen.

Das Flugzeug wurde von zwei Jets der Royal Air Force eskortiert. Der Besatzung soll ein Zettel mit einer Bombendrohung Ã¼bergeben worden sein, teilte die Fluggesellschaft Ryanair mit. Die Maschine befand sich auf dem Flug von Paris nach Dublin. (N24.de, AP)

Flight diverted after bomb alert

A security alert on board a Ryanair flight led to the closure of Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire.
Ryanair said a note was passed to cabin crew on the Paris to Dublin flight at about 1400 BST claiming there was a bomb onboard the aircraft.

A "fighter escort" then accompanied the aircraft onto the ground at Prestwick.

All 167 passengers were taken off the plane. A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said: "All are safe and well and are being interviewed."

The plane landed at 1420 BST.

A Prestwick Airport spokesman said the flight was diverted "as a precautionary measure".

A spokesman for Ryanair said: "All passengers together with Ryanair are co-operating fully with the police and local safety authorities.

"The aircraft will now be subject to a detailed search, following which we expect it will be cleared to travel onwards to Dublin.

"Ryanair apologises sincerely for any inconvenience caused to these passengers, however the safety of our passengers and aircraft will always be our number one priority."

The MoD said the plane was escorted to the ground at Prestwick by Tornado aircraft.

A Strathclyde Police spokesman said "a full emergency response was put into place".

Delayed flights

The scare resulted in a 25 mile air exclusion zone being set up around the airport, according to aviation sources.

This took effect at 2.09pm, and was lifted 16 minutes later at 2.25pm.

This had the effect of delaying some flights due to depart from nearby Glasgow Airport, and those flights were kept on the ground for that period.

A worker at Prestwick Airport said staff were not being evacuated but there was a large police and fire service presence.

No flights are taking off or landing as a result of the incident
Ryanair flights from Paris and Milan have been diverted to Edinburgh Airport and a flight from Amsterdam was diverted to Glasgow Airport.

Six scheduled departures have been delayed.

Wegen einer Bombendrohung an Bord eines Flugzeuges ist der schottische Flughafen Prestwick vorÃ¼bergehend geschlossen worden.
