A bomb threat scare aboard a Frontier Airlines flight from Atlanta triggered an emergency response after a passenger allegedly claimed to have a bomb.
The incident involved Frontier flight F92539, operated on an Airbus A320, where the pilot can reportedly be heard alerting ATC to a "possible bomb onboard" and warning that a passenger was threatening to kill others.
Authorities later confirmed that police were investigating the situation after the aircraft landed safely at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The audio recording of the conversation between the pilot of Frontier Flight 2539 and the air traffic control raised an alert of a potential threat onboard.
The pilot relays that a passenger claimed to be carrying a bomb and was making violent threats.
The bomb threat turned out to be a false alarm and the aeroplane was diverted to a remote place away from the terminal while law enforcement investigated.
