A Turkish Airlines (THY) plane flying from Istanbul to Portugal returned to Istanbul Atatürk Airport on April 1 after a bomb threat.

Security measures were taken near the plane.

On March 30, another THY plane traveling from Istanbul to Sao Paolo made an emergency landing in Casablanca.

A search of the Boeing 777-300ER plane bound for Sao Paulo discovered the threat was a hoax, allowing the plane to subsequently continue on its route, the company added.
