The plane, carrying 158 passengers, landed safely at 9:41 PM local time (6:41 PM GMT) following notification of the threat to Romanian authorities.

Local news outlet stirileprotv.ro reported that the aircraft involved was a Boeing 737-800 and the bomb threat was received just 16 minutes before the emergency landing.

Authorities in Romania are likely now investigating the threat and conducting a thorough inspection of the aircraft. Passengers will likely be delayed while this takes place. (ILKHA)
