On September 26, a passenger on Vietjet Thailand flight VZ961 from Da Nang to Bangkok falsely reported a bomb on board. The crew immediately implemented safety protocols and alerted security at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.
Upon landing, the plane and all luggage were thoroughly inspected, and authorities confirmed there was no bomb. The passenger who made the false claim, a Polish woman, was detained and will face legal action. The incident did not disrupt airport operations, and all passengers and crew proceeded with standard arrival procedures.
Flight VZ961 had 121 people on board, including one infant and six crew members. Thailand’s law mandates severe penalties for those who spread false threats, with potential imprisonment of up to 15 years and fines up to 600,000 baht (approximately $18,500).
