BANGKOK, April 20 (TNA) – Nok Air explained the Loei-Don Mueang flight on Friday morning was delayed after a German passenger said there was a bomb in his carry-on bag. The DD9705 flight with 83 passengers, pilots and five crew was scheduled to leave Loei airport at 10.30 am., but a passenger said there was a bomb in his bag. The pilots then complied with the international safety standard by informing the airport officials and related agencies.
