Man arrested after threat made against flight at Kelowna airport
Description
October 25, 2014
KELOWNA - A man has been arrested following an emergency situation at Kelowna International Airport Saturday afternoon.
Kelowna airport spokeswoman Jenelle Hynes says a man phoned the airport with a threat specifically directed toward a WestJet flight destined for Calgary.

The plane, which had arrived from Edmonton at around 1 p.m., was redirected to the far end of the runway.
Luggage was removed from the plane for re-examination, while passengers were kept on board for some time. They eventually deplaned and were taken to the terminal for secondary screening.
Airport officials said <a href="https://twitter.com/ylwkelowna/status/526159596004839424">via Twitter</a> that airport operations are back to normal.
