After questioning her, police determined that the woman had no intention to plant a bomb on the plane. She had simply used “prohibited words” on the flight, reported the Bangkok Post.

Airport security conducted a thorough search of the passengers and luggage. An Explosive Ordnance Disposal team also checked the baggage and the aircraft for any sign of explosives.

After no suspicious objects were found, authorities lifted the emergency measures at 4.30pm, reported The Nation.

“The incident did not affect the airport’s overall operations,” Mr Kittipong said.
