Unattended cellphone forces Turkish Airlines jet to divert

BELGRADE - Anadolu Agency
A Turkish Airlines Boeing 777 carrying 300 passengers and crew made an unscheduled landing on May 26 at Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport after an unattended cellphone was found onboard.

The Istanbul-London passenger flight departed from Istanbul Atatürk Airport at 8:34 a.m., according to Anadolu Agency reporters in Serbia and Nikola Tesla Airport officials.
