Saudia airlines says Bomb threat on Madrid-Riyadh flight is a hoax
Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia), said a bomb scare that grounded its Riyadh-bound flight from Madrid on Thursday was a false alarm.
“It’s just another hoax that all airlines are subjected to,” a Saudia spokesman told Reuters when asked about the incident.
“It’s false but we must do all the necessary precautionary formalities.”
Saudia’s flight SVA 226 returned to Madrid’s Barajas airport after an alert was raised over a bomb threat, the Interior Minister Jose Fernandez Diaz said.
