Bomb threat on Air France flight

Posted on 27 May 2009 at 16:27 - Security personnel at Buenos Aires-Ezeiza airport in Argentina delayed an Air France flight this evening before departing for Paris immediately after the company received a bomb threat over the phone at the airport offices.

The Argentine Federal Police, along the Firemen’s direction and the Airport’s Security proceeded to inspect the plane, that had arrived this morning from the French city and, after a brief stop, was preparing to return. The routine procedure lasted approximately an hour and a half and, as sources of the airport reported, all the passengers are ok and they were not evacuated from the plane.

The debris detected by aircraft radar included a 23-foot section that officials said may be part of Flight 447 that disappeared late Sunday after flying through turbulence and sending out an automatic alert of an electrical failure.
