Yesterday’s Air Transat flight TS152, linking Brussels, Belgium and Montreal, Canada was delayed with one day after a fake bomb threat.
“A bomb threat on that particular flight was send by email,” confirmed Brussels Airport spokeswoman Anke Fransen to Belgian broadcast RTL, “the usual procedure was initiated: specialized security services intervened. The federal police carried out a strict check of the aircraft and found nothing suspicious.”
Originally, the Airbus A330 (C-GUBC) was scheduled to depart on Wednesday (26 June) at 13:30 (UTC +2) but the flight has now been postponed until today as the crew exceeded their duty time limitations.
