Bomb scare on Saudi Arabian Airlines flight at Madrid airport
Passengers and crew on a Saudi Arabian Airlines flight were evacuated at Madrid's Barajas International Airport today, reports Reuters.
Spanish authorities made the swift decision after a note was found threatening that a bomb was on the Riyadh bound jet before take-off.
Spain's airport operator Aena said it had later downgraded the alarm from general to local, meaning the alert would not affect other flights.
An investigation is being carried out.
