Cairo - KUNA
An Egyptian Boeing 777 travelling from Cairo to New York has made an emergency landing at a Scottish airport following a blast warning. The pilot had to make an emergency landing as a stewardess told him that she had found a note in the toilet of the EgyptAir plane warning that the plane would be set on fire. EgyptAir Holding Company Chairman Tawfeeq Asi said in news remarks that the pilot had to land at Glasgow airport in Scotland as a stewardess found a note in the toilet warning \"I\'ll set this plane on fire.\" He said the note had been found only after five hours of taking off from Cairo airport, noting that flight 985 had 303 passengers aboard. Passengers were asked to disembark and the plane was being inspected, Tawfeeq pointed out.
