A Turkish Airlines plane was searched at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport after a note containing a bomb attack threat was found on board, local media reported.
The plane was scheduled to fly from Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, to the city of Kayseri in the center of the country.
No explosives were eventually found on board, reports stated.
A number of explosions have hit Turkish cities in recent months, including major urban areas, with authorities blaming the attacks on Kurdish militants. A car packed with explosives detonated near military barracks in Istanbul earlier in May. In March, 37 people were killed in a bombing near public bus stops in the Turkish capital, Ankara.
