Passengers and crew were evacuated from a Jet2 aircraft at Tenerife South Airport on Friday, 25 September, after a passenger reportedly made a bomb threat. Spain’s Civil Guard carried out a precautionary security check of the aircraft and baggage.
The aircraft was operating flight LS1536 to London Stansted, scheduled to depart at 11:20 local time. Flight information lists the aircraft type as a Boeing 737-800 with registration G-JZBM.
Passengers were subsequently allowed to reboard, and the flight departed at approximately 13:45, around two and a half hours late. Jet2 confirmed that passengers had been asked to leave the aircraft following an incident involving someone on board and said it had worked with the authorities before the flight continued.
No explosive device has been reported as found. Authorities have not released further details about the passenger or announced whether any action will be taken.
