ANKARA (Sputnik) — All passengers have been evacuated from the plane.
"The crew informed the airport's security service that a note with the word 'bomb' had been found in the toilet on board the plane which was scheduled to take off at 3.50 p.m. [12:50 GMT] from Istanbul to [the central Turkish city of] Kayseri," the company said in a statement.
According to reports, citing an airline spokesperson, the bomb threat turned out to be a hoax.
