A Swiss International Air Lines plane was forced to make an emergency landing on Saturday after a bomb threat was made against the flight. The Zurich to Malaga flight was overflying France when the pilot was informed a threat had been made via the Swiss offices.
The Airbus A321 turned around and landed safely at Geneva airport.
A spokesman for the airport said no one was injured during the landing.
The 142 passengers and six crew left the airplane on slides and were taken to a waiting room. The airplane was then moved from the runway for checks by bomb disposal experts but no explosive devices were found.
A replacement flight was scheduled for later in the evening.
The airport runway had to be closed for an hour and a half, with eight flights cancelled or rerouted to Lyon.
