TAIPEI - A China Airlines flight bound for Sydney was grounded for safety checks because of a bomb hoax, airport police said Saturday.
Flight CI051 carrying 285 passengers departed early Saturday after a nearly three-hour delay for a search. No explosives were found on the plane, said the Aviation Police Office at Taoyuan international airport in northern Taiwan.
In May, a China Airlines flight bound for Shanghai was forced to divert to the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou after a passenger falsely claimed he was carrying explosives in his luggage.
