The plane was evacuated due to the unattended bag, which turned out to belong to a passenger who didn’t hear the crew’s announcement because of headphones.
The passengers were taken to the plane after security checks.
The North Cyprus-bound plane took off 3.05 p.m., with a one and a half hour delay.
