Ibiza Airport was in a state of chaos as operations were abruptly halted for nearly an hour. The cause? A man had been arrested after claiming to have a bomb on his person, just moments before a Ryanair flight was scheduled to depart.
The alarming hoax bomb threat caused all aircraft to be grounded at the airport this afternoon. In fact, some flights were even diverted to other nearby airports, such as Palma in Majorca. The situation escalated quickly and it was later revealed that the man had been on a plane bound for Milan Bergamo Airport.
The tense situation left no room for any planes to take off or land as the alarm was sounded shortly after 3:30pm. It wasn't until around 4:30pm local time that operations were able to resume. During this time, passengers were left stranded and anxious, unsure of what was happening and when they would be able to continue their travels.
The culprit, a passenger on a Ryanair flight, had falsely claimed to have a bomb on board, causing panic and confusion among airport staff and travelers. A spokesperson for the Spanish airport operator Aena confirmed that the situation was under control as the Civil Guard had taken charge of the situation.
The incident not only caused delays and diversions, but also had a ripple effect on outgoing flights, resulting in further delays for British holidaymakers. The exact number of flights affected is yet to be determined, but it is clear that the false bomb threat had a significant impact on airport operations.
Thankfully, the situation was resolved and operations were able to resume after thorough security checks. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant and taking all security threats seriously in order to ensure the safety of all travelers.
