Sydney Airport bomb scare triggered as emergency services swarm on incoming international flight

  • There are reports of an alleged bomb threat involving flight NZ247

There are reports of a bomb threat involving an incoming international flight at Sydney Airport.

According to Seven News, the incident involves Air New Zealand flight NZ247 from Wellington to Sydney.

The flight landed safely in Sydney at 5:37 pm and was met by more than 40 emergency services teams on the tarmac.

The A320 plane, carrying up to 140 passengers, has since been isolated on a separate runway at the airport.

Incoming flights were reportedly initially placed in a holding pattern before landings resumed.

Sydney Airport referred Daily Mail Australia to New South Wales Police, who said they were aware of the reports but declined to comment.

The Australian Federal Police has also been contacted for comment.
