Thursday, a bomb threat that caused a Jazeera Airways passenger flight to make an emergency landing at Turkey’s Trabzon Airport turned out to be a false alarm, according to Al Arabiya.

The plane took off from Kuwait earlier Thursday.

Trabzon governor Ismail Ustaoglu said that all passengers onboard were safely evacuated from the aircraft.

He told TRT World that the plane was searched in a safe zone.

According to TRT World, the bomb threat issued to Kuwait authorities was not just for that specific flight but for all Kuwaiti planes that were operating at the time.
