Eurowings flight from Oman lands in Kuwait after bomb threat
KUWAIT CITY — A Germany-bound Eurowings passenger flight from Oman landed in Kuwait on Sunday over a bomb threat but no explosives were found on board, authorities said.
The Airbus A330 from Salalah heading to Cologne, Eurowings flight 117, landed Sunday morning in Kuwait City after the captain received word of the threat, said Mansour al-Hashemi, a spokesman for Kuwait’s civil aviation authority.
Security officials found no signs of explosives on the aircraft, al-Hashemi said. He declined to discuss how the threat was made against the aircraft.
Eurowings said there were 287 passengers and 10 crew members on board the plane, which was being flown by SunExpress on its behalf.
