Just heard there as been a bomb threat aboard a KLM flight from AMS.
Flight has beed diverted to Paris where passengers and crew were evacuated. As I write, the aircraft is being searched at Charles De Gaulle.
A passenger reported finding a note saying "There is a bomb on board this plane".
No other info at this stage.
This is becoming a regular event lately, and of course has to be taken very seriously. I truly feel sorry for all airlines who have to put up with this idiotic behaviour and foot the bill for diversions and passenger displacement. Qantas was the victim of this stupid prank only two weeks ago, SYD-FRA.
I guess if we dont start taking pens and paper off pax as well as everything else, unfortunately there may be no end. What next, no cabin baggage, maybe not a bad idea, thats assuming it is passengers who perform this totaly unacceptable behaviour.
Any info on KLM would be appreciated.
