Jet2 Plane Evacuated at Tenerife After Reported Bomb Threat

Overview

• A passenger on Jet2 flight LS1536 reportedly made a bomb threat before takeoff at Tenerife South, prompting police to order everyone off the Boeing 737 and search the aircraft and luggage as a safety measure.
• After on‑site checks were completed, passengers reboarded and the flight departed, landing at London Stansted roughly two hours later than scheduled.
• Jet2 confirmed the disembarkation and reboarding, apologised for the delay and described the event only as an “incident,” without confirming that a bomb threat was substantiated.
• The outcome for the passenger said to have made the threat has not been publicly disclosed and local authorities including the Guardia Civil and Aena have not issued formal statements on the allegation.
• The case is being reported alongside recent in‑flight security alerts, including a Ryanair diversion in which a captain transmitted transponder code 7500, a standard hijack signal that forces precautionary responses and can cause delays or diversions.
