In a dramatic turn of events, armed police stormed a passenger plane in a high-intensity operation that left travellers shaken. Eyewitnesses reported chaotic scenes as officers boarded the aircraft while it was still full of passengers.
What Triggered the Police Intervention?
Authorities have remained tight-lipped about the exact circumstances that led to the extraordinary police action. However, sources suggest the operation was linked to a potential security threat onboard the commercial flight.
Passengers Describe Terrifying Moments
"It was like something from a movie," one shaken passenger told reporters. "Suddenly armed officers were coming down the aisle shouting commands. People were screaming and didn't know where to look."
Another traveller added: "We had no warning. One minute we were preparing for takeoff, the next we were being ordered to keep our hands visible."
Airport Operations Disrupted
The police action caused significant disruption at the airport, with several flights delayed as security protocols were reviewed. Airport officials have assured the public that normal operations have now resumed.
Ongoing Investigation
Police confirmed they are continuing their investigation into the incident but declined to comment on whether any arrests were made. Aviation security experts suggest this type of intervention is extremely rare and only undertaken when there is credible immediate threat.
The Civil Aviation Authority has been notified and is monitoring the situation. Passengers affected by the incident are being offered counselling services.
