Two Pakistan Airlines planes RE being searched by police at Istanbul’s main airport where they made unscheduled landings after receiving multiple bomb threats, Turkey’s state-run Anatolia news agency reported.
One plane, en route from Islamabad to Manchester, received the threat while in Bulgarian airspace and landed in Istanbul at about 5 p.m. local time, Anatolia said, without saying where it got the information.
The 378 passengers were evacuated and security forces began to search the plane for explosives, the agency said.
