BERLIN — An Aeroflot flight was evacuated at a Berlin airport on Monday after an unidentified person claimed there was a bomb on board, but the incident turned out to be a hoax, federal police said.
Federal police spokesman Joerg Kunzendorf said 140 passengers were evacuated, and then searched along with their luggage. The plane was also searched, but no explosives were found.
The plane was allowed to depart from Schoenefeld airport and head to Moscow after a five hour delay, Kunzendorf said.
He said the threat was sent by fax to several German news agencies, who then alerted the authorities. He declined to say what was behind the threat.
