Bomb threat causes rescheduled flight departure

Spanish airline Air Europa rescheduled on Monday a flight departing from Venezuela because of a bomb threat call that made check one of its planes ready to take off for Madrid.

Xiomara Marin, the manager of the private airline, said that the authorities did not report or find any explosives inside the plane after searching for them at the very last minute on Sunday, reported news TV channel Globovisión.

Passengers were asked to withdraw when the plane was already on the airstrip. Their luggage was checked whereas vehicles with red lights surrounded the aircraft in the dark, said Reuters.
