Bomb threat in luggage halts Stuttgart Airport operations for 1.5 hours

A 24‑year‑old man threatened a security staff member with a bomb in his luggage at Stuttgart Airport and was barred from his flight to Hurghada, Egypt; the Bundespolizei cleared the security area after searching and found no real danger.

Flight operations were halted from 16:30 to 18:00, affecting nearly 30 flights and about 3,000 passengers; nine flights were cancelled, eleven were delayed up to three hours, and ten arriving aircraft were diverted mainly to Nürnberg and Karlsruhe/Baden‑Baden.
