Shenzhen Airlines announced on its Weibo microblog this morning that its flight from Xiangyang in central Hubei Province to Shenzhen in Guangdong Province made an emergency landing at a third airport after receiving a threat call last night.
The Airbus 320 jet took off from Xiangyang Liuji Airport at 21:50pm last night and was scheduled to arrive at Shenzhen Bao'an Airport at 23:45pm.
But the crew received a threat from an anonymous caller at 22:29pm and was instructed to land immediately at Wuhan Tianhe Airport around 23:24pm, Wuhan airport authorities said.
All the passengers and crew members stayed overnight in a hotel to wait for another flight for Shenzhen this morning.
It is the second terror threat aimed at Chinese airlines this week. On Wednesday an Air China flight on route to New York returned to Beijing Capital International Airport after receiving a threat call. Police are now probing into the case.
