Air traffic controllers wrote on their X account: "The plane has been guided with the presence of firefighters to a siding where the passengers have had to identify their luggage. "Landing and takeoff operations have been temporarily interrupted, which has caused some delays." The result of the inspection was negative, meaning that no explosive device was found on board. The Civil Guard has launched an investigation to determine the authorship of the message.
