Latam flight cancelled after bomb threat at Confins Airport
Latam flight LA3045, traveling from Belo Horizonte's Confins International Airport to São Paulo's Congonhas Airport, was cancelled on Thursday night, October 22, following a bomb threat.
Staff discovered a note containing a suspected threat in the aircraft's restroom, prompting authorities to intervene. The aircraft remained on the airport apron for approximately five hours while security protocols were executed.
The Federal Police conducted inspections and ultimately ruled out the possibility of an actual attack. The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 8:25 p.m., was cancelled due to the time required to complete security procedures and subsequent operational constraints regarding takeoff and landing schedules.
