PIK Security Alert

I sincerely hope the person responsible for the note is made to pay compensation to each and every person inconvienenced before being hung by his nuts from the nearest lampost. 😮

People like that should be barred from flying anywhere ever again..the walk would be good exercise anyway.

heres the bbc report http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4904124.stm

They must know who did the wrote the note as it was passed to cabin crew according to BBC not just discovered by Cabin Crew.

Funny just watching Sky News about it and the Ryanair they showed was one of the old 737- 00 that are stored there.

I wondered what was up earlier on when I was at Dublin as the BVA flight was expected 6 hours late and all the other planes were late 🙂

or it cud have been nearer PIK than STN. Doesnt PIK have same Handeling facilities?

Prestwick is also a special incident handling airport, like stansted..Also understand that the tornadoes were the QRA F3’s from Conningsby

a) ATC instructed the flight to divert to PIK
b) Doubt Ryanair are that insane intimes of emergency

Could be right as concerns traffic levels though.

Out of interest why was a plane going to Dublin from Paris diverted so far north, surely Stansted (Specialist Terrorist Handling Airport or something or other) would be nearer the flight plan and should be used.

…believed to be a B737.

I found this quite funny, anyway on a serious note passengers were not allowed to disembark for over 2hrs after landing – why is this, if an explosive device on board was set to detonate during flight time thats going to result in a tragically high injury or even fatality number.

Ryanair are providing passengers with refreshments 😮 😀

As Jethro said before it dissapeared a note was passed to cabin crew mid-flight.

PIK reopened as of now. (1700)

Evergreen 747 diverted to GLA as well apparently? Seemingly a note containing a bomb threat was discovered and forced the diversion to PIK. The entire airport has been closed and access has been barred.

Whats going on?

Just heard on Virgin (Radio) that it were two RAF Tornado’s and its labelled as “an ongoing incident” by Police – sounds like a real incident as opposed to a scare but I only have limited info.
