Tokyo: A Jetstar flight heading from Narita Airport near Tokyo to Fukuoka made an emergency landing at an airport in Nagoya, central Japan, on Saturday, after an apparent bomb threat.
As per details, the bomb threat was made via an international call from Germany around 6am local time. A man said that he had put a bomb on the aircraft in the cargo hold.
The plane departed from Narita at 6:36 am and made an emergency landing at Nagoya's Chubu Airport at 7:40am.
There were 136 passengers and six crew members on board.
As of 10:00am local time, no explosives or other suspicious items were found, according to officials.
