Plane lands in Turkey after bomb threat

By Gul Tuysuz, CNN

 

(CNN) - A Pegasus Airlines plane landed at an Istanbul airport on Friday after a passenger "said that there was a bomb on board," a representative of Turkey's Transportation Ministry said.

 

The plane sent a hijacking signal, and after landing it was being held in a safe zone at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen Airport, Turkish state media outlet TRT reported.

 

The plane had been flying a route between Istanbul and Kharhov, Ukraine, the Transportation Ministry representative said. It wasn't clear in which city the flight started.
