A charter flight from airline ArkeFly made an emergency landing in Ireland on Wednesday after an aggressive passenger said repeatedly there was a bomb on board the plane.


The Boeing 767 carrying 231 passengers and 11 crew was on its way from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport to Aruba and Curacao.
The man, a 44-year-old Dutchman, was arrested on landing and has been handed over to the Irish authorities.
