A Germanwings flight bound for Italy from Germany was evacuated late Sunday because of a bomb threat. The airline later issued a press release saying no bomb had been found.
Germanwings said the pilot of flight 4U 826 to Milan received a call from air traffic tower at Cologne/Bonn airport telling him to abort the flight before taking off. One hundred and twenty-six passengers and six crew on board vacated the Airbus A320.
A search was carried out but no bomb was found. Germanwings says the plane was cleared for flight operations and passengers rescheduled.
