Hoax bomb threat forces Ryanair flight to divert

The 33-year-old man was detained after police boarded a Shannon-bound flight that made an emergency landing at Berlin Schönefeld airport in Germany. The passenger is reported to have made threats on the late-night service claiming several times he had a bomb.

Flight FR-3326, a scheduled Ryanair service from Krakow in Poland to Shannon Airport, was just north of Dresden when the crew diverted, requesting security services to be available on arrival at about 10.15pm Irish time.
