The Air China plane had to turn around and landed at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport on Thursday, without incident.
From Paris to Beijing, an Air China flight had to turn back on Thursday because of a false bomb threat, according to the French authorities. A little earlier, the Chinese airline had said that flight CA876 had returned to land without incident in Paris following a "terrorist" alert, without giving further details.
The Boeing 787 of the Chinese company took off from Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport at 12:59 before making a U-turn thirty minutes after its takeoff, while it was at the Belgian border, according to data from the FlightRadar24 aircraft monitoring site.
The false alarm was given after a misunderstanding between a pbadenger on the ground and the Chinese company, said the Prefectural Delegation of Paris airports. "A pbadenger delayed by an abandoned package at Roissy airport phoned the company saying that there was a bomb in the terminal and his interlocutor understood that there was a bomb on board the aircraft" , said this source.
An investigation was opened by the prosecutor's office of Bobigny and this man, an Australian according to a source close to the investigation, was placed in custody, according to the prefectural delegation.
