Starlux Airlines Flight to Japan Receives Bomb Threat 星宇航空1/2台北-成田班機 接獲炸彈威嚇

Local airline Starlux Airlines received a telephone bomb threat on Jan. 2.

Airport personnel received a threatening phone call before a Starlux flight from Taipei to Narita International Airport in Tokyo took off. The caller told them to "prepare the money" or else they would "detonate the bomb aboard the Starlux flight." The flight took off after a 90-minute delay. After it landed and the passengers disembarked, the Japanese police searched the aircraft. They did not find any suspicious items.

一班從台北直飛東京成田機場的航班，機場人員在起飛前收到一通電話恐嚇，要求「把錢準備好」，否則要引爆星宇航空班機上炸彈。最後該班機延遲了1個半小時，才順利起飛。而該航班降落後，立刻依成田機場程序作業，並由日本警方，在乘客下機後執行航空器檢查，並未發現任何可疑物品。
