Bomb hoax grounds international flight at Subang airport

SUBANG: A bomb hoax grounded an international flight and caused about a four-hour delay at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah airport in Subang.

The flight from a local airline had taken off around 7.40pm on Tuesday to Singapore when the airport’s reception received two anonymous phone calls around 8pm.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Zani Che Din said the male caller had claimed there was a bomb on the plane.

“The air control tower was alerted to the threat and the plane was ordered to turn back.

“It made an emergency landing back at the airport around 8.20pm,” he said when met at the scene on Tuesday.

A bomb squad swept the plane and no explosives were found.

The 30 passengers and four crew members were later boarded on a second plane and resumed their flight around 11.40pm.
