Due to a bomb threat, Air China Flight CA15 was escorted by fighter jets on December 2022, 617, en route from Chengdu to Paris-CDG via Germany, Belgium and France. A website operator had received the threat and immediately contacted the French executive.
First, two German Air Force fighter jets took off from Rostock-Laage. They escorted the Airbus A330-300 with the registration B-8383 to the Belgian airspace border. Here the Belgians took over before the French forces escorted them. The long-haul aircraft was able to land safely at CDG and was then extensively examined.
The operator of a website received the information in a comment posting that there is at least one bomb on Air China flight CA617. As a precaution, he immediately contacted the gendarmerie, who, for security reasons, forwarded the theoretically possible threat to air traffic control and the military. The Airbus A330-300 was then escorted by the armed forces of Germany, Belgium and France to land in Paris. An extensive check revealed that there was no explosive device on board and that there was therefore no threat.
The French police now want to find the culprit. However, the operator of the website, who has called in the police as a precaution, is not expecting any criminal proceedings because, according to the statement by the gendarmerie, he acted in an exemplary manner and all necessary steps were taken according to the principle of "safety first".
