A Turkish Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Barcelona’s El Prat Airport on Thursday after a passenger created an in-flight wireless network whose name contained a bomb threat, an airline spokesperson said.
The spokesperson, Yahya Üstün, confirmed that as the Turkish Airlines flight TK1853 from Istanbul neared Barcelona’s international airport, "it was detected that a passenger established an in-flight internet access point and set the network name to include a bomb threat."
