The Thai VietJetAir flight from Vietnam's Danang to Bangkok on Thursday allegedly received a bomb threat, while the flight was on its way to Thailand's main international airport in Bangkok. The Bangkok airport officials said that it received a bomb threat concerning an incoming Thai VietJetAir flight travelling from Danang, Vietnam. The bomb threat call triggered the airport to activate the emergency protocol. However, after checking the flight, the airport confirmed there were no explosives in the flight and all passengers and crew were safe.

"The incident did not affect the airport's overall operations," Suvarnabhumi Airport's general manager said in a statement, adding that emergency measures had since been lifted and that a passenger suspected of making the threat had been handed over to police for further investigation.
