Passengers were ordered out of a London-bound Jet2 flight following a bomb threat.
Some flights were briefly disrupted at Tenerife South Airport this afternoon following the incident.
Guardia Civil officers checked a Jet2 plane to London Stansted after reports that one person had made a bomb threat, according to Atlantic Hoy.
Passengers had already boarded the plane before being told to disembark.
Luggage and passengers were checked as a precaution before the aircraft was given an all-clear.
The incident involved flight LS1536, which was scheduled to leave the Canary Islands’ second-largest airport at 11.20am.
But the Boeing 737 took off from Tenerife at about 2pm instead, according to the tracking website Flightradar24.
The plane landed at Stansted at 5.49pm.
A spokesperson for Jet2 told : ‘We can confirm that customers were asked to disembark a flight at Tenerife South Airport today following an incident involving a passenger onboard.
‘Customers have since reboarded and the flight has now landed at London Stansted as planned. We would like to apologise to everyone onboard for the delay and any inconvenience caused.’
Earlier this month, passengers were left terrified during an incident on Sepehran Airlines flight in Iran when the cabin ceiling collapsed.
Footage shows travellers screaming, crying and praying as the aircraft shook violently and the interior lining caved in.
Despite the dramatic scenes, no one is believed to have been injured, and passengers walked out of the plane after it had returned to Mashhad airport following the emergency.
