Passenger on SIA flight arrested after allegedly making bomb threat

The Straits Times understands that the man who was arrested is a foreign national.

Flight SQ33, which left San Francisco at 10.26pm on Monday (Tuesday, 1.26pm Singapore time) with 209 passengers and 17 crew members on board, was escorted by two Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) fighter jets before landing at Changi Airport at about 5.50am on Wednesday, the RSAF and the police said in a statement.

The police were informed of the threat at about 2.40am on Wednesday, the statement added.

An SIA spokesman said in response to queries that SQ33 headed to an isolated part of the airport for security checks after landing, and was then towed to Terminal 3 after security checks were completed.
