Germanwings flight evacuated after bomb threat─── 09:28 Mon, 13 Apr 2015
Bonn - A Germanwings flight bound for Italy from Germany was evacuated late last night due to a bomb threat.
Germanwings, a budget unit of German airline Lufthansa, has been in the spotlight since one of its planes crashed into a mountain in the French Alps last month, killing everyone on board.
Germanwings said the pilot of Flight 4U 826 to Milan was taxiing to the runway when he received a call from the air traffic tower at Cologne/Bonn airport to abort the flight.
Passengers and crew vacated the Airbus A320 in an orderly fashion, it said, adding federal police had received the bomb threat.
A total of 132 people were aboard the plane, including 126 passengers and six crew members. An examination of the baggage and the aircraft itself yielded no results.
