DUBAI: A Dubai-Manila flight was diverted to India early morning on Thursday due to a bomb scare caused by a “disruptive” female passenger, the airline confirmed.
Cebu Pacific Flight 5J 7945 left the Dubai International Airport at 11.10pm on Wednesday but had to make an emergency landing at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi two hours into the flight after a disruptive passenger shouted that there was a bomb on the plane.
“CEB flight 5J 7945 Dubai - Manila diverted to Indira Gandhi Int’l Airport (New Delhi) at 6:55AM (2.55am UAE time) today, July 30, 2015, due to a disruptive passenger.
CEB is coordinating with the government authorities in India, on this matter. CEB will provide updates as soon as available,” a Cebu Pacific advisory on its official Twitter account read.
