Police are investigating following an incident at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) yesterday.
Officers from Richmond RCMP YVR detachment responded to information from YVR operations about a possible threat to a person aboard Flair Airlines flight #2799, which originated in Edmonton. The incident happened just before midnight.
“An individual on this flight received electronic communications on their mobile device of a possible threat and promptly advised the proper authorities,” says Cpl. Dennis Hwang, Richmond RCMP communications officer.“Threats or perceived threats, in any form, will be fully investigated. The safety of the flight crew, passengers, and the public will always be of paramount concern for us.”
Officers boarded the flight at gate B29 and cleared the aircraft before passengers and crew were able to disembark. The police investigation is active and ongoing.
