A man is due to face court after allegedly claiming he had a bomb as a plane bound for Malaysia was preparing for take-off at one of Australia's busiest airports.
On Sunday, AFP officers at Sydney Airport responded to the alleged bomb threat, arresting a man on board a Turkish Airlines flight from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur.
The plane was on the taxiway preparing for take-off when a crew member questioned the man about electrical equipment he was holding.
The passenger allegedly responded that he had a bomb.
The captain told police the item appeared to be a wireless phone charger.
Passengers seated near the man were relocated as a precaution, before police boarded the plane and made the arrest.
