An aircraft operated by Russian airline Aeroflot was delayed at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport, Finland yesterday (5 February) due to suspicions of a bomb threat.

The aircraft was due to take off for Moscow, Russia at 1815 EET but was delayed by several hours while the area was restricted and the aircraft searched. No bombs were found, reported the Finnish newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet.

The suspicions reportedly arose after a passenger heard fellow passengers talk about bombs.
