A note warning of explosives aboard an AJet passenger plane triggered a security scare Monday evening during a domestic flight from Ankara to Sanliurfa, Turkey. A thorough search after landing found no explosives or suspicious items.

AJet Flight 4180 departed Ankara at 7 p.m. and landed safely at Sanliurfa GAP Airport at 8:05 p.m. Security authorities were alerted after the note was discovered during the flight. No injuries were reported.

All 136 passengers and seven crew members were evacuated from the aircraft after it landed. Airport security was raised to its highest level as personnel conducted a comprehensive search of the plane.

The inspection found no evidence of an explosive device, and authorities determined that the warning was a false threat. Normal airport operations resumed after the search was completed.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the note.
