An easyJet flight from Berlin to Gran Canaria had to be diverted to Bordeaux, France, due to a disruptive Russian passenger on board. The flight, U2 5111 operated by Airbus A320 registered OE-IVR, was delayed in Bordeaux for several hours.
The aircraft landed in the French city at 13:30. However, while the airline initially stated the flight would resume at 15:30 to reach Gran Canaria at 17:01, Bordeaux airport was closed due to a bomb threat, leaving the crew and passengers stranded on the plane. Eventually, the aircraft took off to the Canary Islands at 17:00 after the alert was lifted.
Several other French airports, including Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Nice, Toulouse, and Beauvais, as well as Ostend in Belgium, were also affected by similar bomb threats.
