The Hague [Netherlands], May 10: Eindhoven Airport in the southern Dutch province of North Brabant was temporarily closed on Friday morning after a false bomb threat involving a flight bound for the Turkish resort city of Antalya.
The incident began when a 51-year-old woman claimed, prior to departure, that there was a bomb in her luggage, according to airport authorities. However, a subsequent inspection by the bomb squad found no explosives.
The woman was arrested, taken off the plane, and detained. Her motive remains under investigation.
Due to the disruption, one flight was diverted to Weeze Airport in neighboring Germany, about 80 kilometers from Eindhoven, while several other flights were delayed.
