Overview

  • Anonymous calls warned of explosives on Aerolíneas Argentinas flight AR1411 from Mendoza and on Flybondi flight 5162 at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery.
  • The Airport Security Police and ANAC swiftly isolated both aircraft and carried out thorough inspections under established bomb-threat protocols.
  • As a precaution, Aerolíneas Argentinas flight AR1411 was diverted to Montevideo before searches confirmed it was clear.
  • Authorities confirmed no explosive devices were found and both Ezeiza and Aeroparque airports resumed normal operations within an hour.
  • The Department of Antiterrorist Investigation of the Federal Investigations Superintendency is leading the probe to trace the origin and motive of the false calls.
