Why It Matters
The article reports one of the false bomb alerts recorded on various European air links, which affected the Pescara-Charleroi flight. Passenger Federica describes the wait on board after landing and the subsequent security and police checks.
I was sitting right in the front row, so I was right in the front and saw everything. Just before landing I noticed that the cabin crew went into the bathroom. Then they started talking in low voices and even entered the pilot's cockpit. I sensed that there was something wrong, I saw them a little agitated.
Federica, who yesterday, together with her husband, was on board the Pescara-Charleroi flight affected by one of the false bomb alerts recorded on various European air links, told ANSA, underlining that she then understood everything when "I read the articles".
"As soon as we landed - he continues - they asked us to stay seated and almost an hour passed. Security personnel and the police came on board several times. Obviously people started to get a little agitated, they were wondering what was happening. I understood that there was some problem with the bathroom because they kept talking about it and the officers also entered the toilets. After an hour they made us go down row by row and, once outside, there were the police with dogs who checked all the luggage".
"Subsequently - he continues - they let us enter the airport, but separately from the usual exits and they made us wait in a corridor for half an hour. Then they took us to where the documents are checked and there we waited for another good hour. In short, about two and a half hours have passed since we arrived - he concludes - It was a fairly hectic situation".

- Who raised the bomb threat and how
- What results did the checks with the dogs and the verification of documents have?
- Whether the false alarms on other European connections are linked to each other
