A prank resulted in a scare aboard an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Orlando on Sunday.
According to a spokesperson from Orlando International Airport, the airport received a tip from Alaska Airlines operation staff that there was a possible incident on board flight 16, which left Sea-Tac International Airport at 9:15 a.m.
The potential threat to the flight resulted in a police response.
The plane was remotely parked and passengers were disembarked normally, officials said.
After the plane landed, it remained on the taxiway for some time until officers determined there was no credible threat.
Police determined it was all a prank.
There’s no word on any arrests.
Alaska Airlines said it takes safety seriously and also apologized to its passengers for any inconvenience.
