Ryanair was grounded and swept for bombs after receiving a call from an anonymous caller who said the plane is explosives laden. The anti-bomb squad swept the whole plane on Thursday, but they found nothing.
The plane, which was already on the tarmac ready to be boarded for a flight to Oslo at Warsaw's Modlin airport when the call came in could not make the flight at that time as the airport was immediately closed down to incoming and outcoming flight as a safety precaution.
Police traced the origin of the call and found out it was a Hoax call from a 48-year-old man and he was immediately detained.
Ryanair released a statement about the incident:
Warsaw Modlin Airport received an anonymous hoax call this morning (25 June) that there was an explosive device on a Ryanair aircraft due to take off from Warsaw Modlin to Oslo at 08.40hrs local. The airport security authorities ordered an immediate inspection of the aircraft (which hadn’t yet boarded) and closed the airport to inbound arrivals as a security precaution.The security sweep confirmed this was a hoax and the aircraft has returned to service, while the airport has since reopened.
