CBC – 19 hours ago
One man was taken into custody at the Kelowna airport after emergency crews were placed on standby following a threat against an Edmonton-Kelowna-Calgary WestJet flight.
At a news conference late Saturday, Kelowna RCMP said the threat was directed against the flight to Calgary, but primarily inconvenienced passengers from Edmonton coming into Kelowna on the same plane.
The flight landed safely at the Kelowna International Airport, but was directed to the far end of the runway away from the main terminal.
Emergency crews were called to the airport and placed on standby.
The airport tweeted it was dealing with a reported incident involving "a specific plane."
