A holiday jet was forced to divert to Mallorca after the pilot alerted traffic controllers to a terror threat on board.
The pilot of the Aegean Airlines flight from Athens to Madrid made the urgent request due to concerns over a passenger.
A bomb squad met the flight when it arrived at Mallorca's Son Sant Joan airport where passengers and their bags were searched for several hours.
The exact reason for the full-scale alert has not been revealed but the crew asked for anti-terrorist protocol to be put into action.
The packed plane took off as normal from Athens at 9.15am this morning and was due to arrive at the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas in Madrid at noon.
As the aircraft was flying over the Mediterranean Sea, the pilot issued an urgent alert to air traffic controllers in Mallorca requesting a diversion to the Son Sant Joan airport because of a terrorist threat.

The possibility of threats should not be taken lightly... especially on board an aircraf.
