Bomb Threat Forces Evacuation of Jet2 Flight at Tenerife Airport

Passengers were ordered off the Jet2 jet as officers searched the cabin, hold and luggage before the flight left about 2.5 hours late.

  • A bomb threat at Tenerife South Airport triggered a full evacuation of a Jet2 flight after a passenger allegedly claimed to have an explosive device in their luggage.
  • Guardia Civil officers isolated the Boeing 737 and conducted an emergency inspection of the cabin, hold, and passenger luggage to rule out any explosive device.
  • Nothing resembling a bomb was found during the checks, and Flight LS1536 departed for London Stansted at approximately 1:45pm, resulting in a delay of about two and a half hours.
  • Jet2 confirmed the incident and apologized to customers for the inconvenience, while investigators reported initial inquiries suggest the threat was a false alarm.
  • Spanish airports have faced similar bomb scares this year, including recent incidents in Barcelona and Malaga, as security services treat such threats as credible until checks prove otherwise.
