The incident took place on a Jet Airways flight that was taxiing towards the runway in Kolkata
A text message sparked a security scare on Mumbai-bound Jet Airways flight in Kolkata that was taxiing towards the runway. One passenger was detained for questioning after he was observed typing a text message that said that 'terrorists were on the flight'.
A co-passenger saw the man type this message and informed the flight crew. The crew in turn informed the flight's commander, who then decided to bring the plane back to the parking bay.
There, security personnel boarded the flight and detained the man for questioning.
The incident reportedly took place on board Jet Airways Flight 9W 472.
Data from flight tracking website FlightRadar24.com showed that the 9W 472, which usually departs from Kolkata at 8:15 am, was delayed by more than an hour.
The flight took off only at 9:36am.
