A bomb threat targeting a passenger plane preparing to depart from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport for Bahrain has been declared false after thorough investigations. The incident caused a flight delay, but an alternative aircraft was provided to minimize disruption for passengers.
Detailed Search Reveals False Alarm
The Pegasus Airlines Airbus A320 NEO aircraft, operating flight PC-824, received a bomb threat prior to its Bahrain departure. In response, police teams and bomb disposal experts conducted a comprehensive search of the plane’s cabin and cargo areas. Following a detailed investigation, the threat was confirmed to be baseless.
Delay in Bahrain Flight
Due to the bomb alert, the scheduled Bahrain flight was delayed. After the threat was debunked, Pegasus Airlines withdrew the implicated aircraft from service and allocated a replacement aircraft to ensure passengers reached Bahrain.
Impact of Threats on Security and Operations
Such bomb threats necessitate additional security measures at airports, affecting both passengers and airline staff. The incident at Sabiha Gökçen Airport caused temporary disruptions to flight safety protocols and operational flow.
While no official statement has been issued, authorities are reportedly continuing efforts to prevent such threats in the future.
