Etihad Airways diverted a recent flight to Qatar after a bomb threat was received from a male passenger.

The airline was performing a flight from Abu Dhabi to Larnaca on 26th August 2011 when the incident occurred, according to Aviation Herald.

In response, the Airbus A320-200 made an unscheduled landing at Doha International Airport, where a security check was conducted. However, no bomb or other security risk was discovered.

Qatar police took the passenger into custody and offloaded his luggage.

Etihad Airways was cleared to depart from Doha around 3.5 hours later and headed back to Abu Dhabi, where passengers were transported to Larnaca on an alternative aircraft, which landed with a total delay of six hours and 20 minutes.

CRIMINAL ACTION AGAINST THE CULPRIT - LIFE LONG SENTENCES AS WELL.
You must not spare a single person who act/talk recklessly in an aircraft endangering/causing fear to the fellow passengers or the aircraft. Kepp quiet or relax and enjoy the flight duration..

Heavy fines and long prison term.
Passengers who makes such a treat like this must be off-loaded on an emergency stop over and get a heavy fine and prison get a prison term of min of 23 months to give them a lesson to stay in other country's jail where they don't know anybody and no one to visit them.
