Plane en route from AMS to Aruba (ArkeFly) diverted to Shannon Airport after a passenger said a bomb was on board and was behaving aggressively.

The plane has landed safely and will be checked for bombs tonight

Probably better for him he did that kind of sh1t on this side of the Atlantic. . . . although he will still be in deep doodoo. :eek: Where do these nutters come from ? :=
I will be very surprised if they find anything, other than that the individual is a 1st class basket-case. :hmm:

What causes folk to make claims like this?
They must realise that they will be 'found out' and arrested and charged.
If they don't want to fly, then just don't take the flight FFS!

He may have had drink taken - next step no drink on board and breath testing at check in ?

[Checkboard]

The flight was about two hours into its journey and around 210 nautical miles north west of Shannon when the request to land was received.

The plane had just left Irish airspace.
If the comments were made after the plane left Irish Airspace, then a good lawyer will argue that the Irish courts don't have jurisdiction.

No need for Irish jurisdiction, he equals an undesirable person, and returned to the waiting arms of Dutch authorities who will deal with him, subject of course to his "hooman rites" :hmm:

An aircraft that was forced to make an emergency landing at Shannon Airport because of an unruly passenger has now been grounded at Shannon after gardaí decided to carry out a search of the plane.
It is understood the captain requested permission to land after a male passenger became difficult.
The Boeing 767 aircraft with 231 passengers and 11 crew on board was chartered by ArkeFly, which is the Dutch arm of TUI.

It was bringing passengers from Amsterdam to the Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean.
The 44-year-old Dutch national was arrested by gardaí and airport police and is being questioned at Shannon Garda Station.
Gardaí have now taken the decision to carry out a complete search of the hold of the aircraft, as well as searching and questioning passengers.
The aircraft has been parked remotely at Shannon to allow for its flight time to expire.
A replacement aircraft has been sent from Amsterdam to take the stranded passengers to the Carribean.
The new plane arrived in Shannon at 5pm and is expected to resume its journey to Aruba this evening.
