Stockholm
: A Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) plane carrying 72 people from London to Stockholm was diverted to Gothenburg on Friday after a bomb threat and passengers were evacuated, police said.
-"The 72 people on board the plane, including the crew, have been evacuated. The evacuation is completed,-" police spokesman Stefan Gustafsson said.
The plane was parked at a remote area of the Landvetter airport in Gothenburg, on Sweden's west coast, and a bomb squad was called to search the aircraft.
-"The bomb technicians have arrived and are preparing to search the plane,-" Gustafsson.
He said the bomb threat was called in to air traffic controllers while the plane was in the air.
The flight landed at Landvetter around 10:00 am (0900 GMT).
All air traffic to and from the airport was initially interrupted because of the bomb scare, but departing flights were later resumed, a spokeswoman for Landvetter said.
Arriving flights will be blocked as long as the police operation is underway, she said.
Landvetter is Sweden's second-biggest airport, registering around six million passengers in 2015.
