A Bulgarian plane flying to Varna was evacuated at the airport in Stuttgart and flights were suspended, which caused delays, media reported.

The reason was a confrontation that erupted between passengers, the spokesman of the city’s police told Bild. According to him, one of the passengers accused the other of being a terrorist, which led to the evacuation of 180 people on board. A thorough check of the plane and luggage was carried out, too.

According to the web site of Varna Airport, this was a flight of "Bulgarian Air Charter."
