According to reports, all passengers on board a British Airways flight from Bermuda to London are safe and accounted for. The flight, scheduled to depart at 8:50pm, was forced to evacuate due to a bomb threat. The evacuation took place at around 9:30pm at the island's only international airport. Thankfully, police have given the all-clear, but the flight had to be cancelled as a precautionary measure.
A spokesperson for the airline stated, "Shortly before 9:30pm on Sunday, May 5, 2024, airport staff alerted the police of a bomb threat received via email. They also informed us that emergency landing protocols were in place at the airport." As a result, Causeway and Kindley Field Road, located near the airport, were closed to traffic so authorities could thoroughly search the area for any potential threats.
Once the airport was deemed safe, the road closures were lifted and regular traffic resumed. The police spokesperson expressed gratitude to the public for their cooperation and patience during the emergency. It's comforting to know that everyone worked together to ensure the safety of all involved.
The passengers on the flight were reported to be in good health and spirits. A spokesperson for British Airways reassured the public, saying, "The safety of our customers and colleagues is always our top priority. We followed our standard procedures to disembark the aircraft and are currently providing support to our customers and crew." The airline is working diligently to get everyone to their final destination as soon as possible.
